Optimized Conditions for Extracting Native Type-I Collagen from Discarded Fish Skin Using Hydrochloric Acid to Overcome the Drawbacks of Acetic Acid.
Article in Marine drugs, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Fish skin, a by-product of commercial fish processing, represents a viable source of type I collagen. Acetic acid has been widely used for the extraction of collagen from fish skin because it can preserve the native structure. However, it requires an extraction time of more than 72 h and complex and time-consuming dialysis steps to remove acetic acid residues from the extracted collagen which can otherwise cause inferior structural modifications. Therefore, this study describes a simple time- and cost-effective method to extract collagen using hydrochloric acid. The experiments focused on understanding the behavior of fish skin and changes in the extraction medium. The extraction procedure developed in this study includes treatment with a 0.01 M hydrochloric acid solution at a 1:20 mass to volume ratio for 5 h, followed by homogenization. The native triple-helical structure of collagen was confirmed by ATR-FTIR and circular dichroism spectroscopy. Thermal stability was confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry. This study also provides guidelines for the application of this knowledge to skin of any fish species of interest: (i) an upper limit of pH 4 during collagen extraction; (ii) a manageable viscosity of the collagen extract solution; and (iii) as few undissolved skin pieces as possible after homogenization.
