1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The gel-forming ability of collagens is vital for their application in cell scaffolds, yet very few comparative studies on fish collagen sources are available. This study isolated and characterized type I collagens from carp skin (CSK), scales (CSC), and swim bladders (CSB) and sturgeon skin (SSK) and swim bladders (SSB). The carp collagens exhibited higher thermal stability (34.75-34.78 °C) and formed more transparent, stronger gels than the sturgeon collagens. Additionally, as demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy, the sturgeon collagens exhibited faster fibril formation, with visible fibrils after 3 h which grew thicker but did not form bundles. The carp collagens, in contrast, initially displayed fewer, thinner, and longer fibrils, with their formation accelerating over time and fibril bundles emerging after 24 h. All collagen solutions of 4% (
