Toxic effects of Helix aspersa snail egg hydrolyzates obtained by static in vitro digestion on Caco-2 colorectal adenocarcinoma cells.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer. Anticancer compounds obtained after the digestion of snail eggs may hurt the growth and development of colon cancer cells. The research aimed to prepare hydrolyzates from Helix aspersa maxima and Helix aspersa aspersa snail eggs using static in vitro simulation of gastrointestinal digestion. Redox status indicators, concentration of total protein, total carbohydrates, uronic acids, allantoin, and glycolic acid, and electrophoretic profile of proteins and glycoproteins were compared in hydrolyzates and non-digested extracts. The effect of hydrolyzates on the integrity of the plasma membrane of Caco-2 human epithelial colorectal adenocarcinoma cells and the monolayer of IEC-6 rat intestinal cells was determined. The influence of hydrolyzates on the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by Caco-2 cells, the potential of their mitochondrial membrane, and the production of apoptotic proteins were examined. Incubation with hydrolyzates for 72 h reduced the plasma membrane integrity of Caco-2 cells but not normal cells, did not affect ROS content, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (the tendency for H. a. aspersa hydrolyzate), and altered the concentration of some apoptotic proteins of intrinsic and extrinsic apoptosis pathways. Bioactive compounds released during digestion and their interactions may have been responsible for anticancer effects.
