Influence of Oral Collagen Peptides on Skin Biophysical Properties in Humans: A Narrative Review.
Review in Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dermatology, 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
The skin not only provides protection and sensory functions for the body, but healthy skin also enhances self-esteem. Moreover, altered cutaneous function contributes to the development of extracutaneous disorders. Therefore, great efforts have been made to identify agents and natural ingredients that are safe and effective to improve cutaneous function. In this narrative review, we searched PubMed and Google Scholar for literature on the effects of collagen peptides on skin biophysical properties. Studies have demonstrated that oral peptide improves several cutaneous functions, including stratum corneum hydration, epidermal permeability barrier, elasticity, firmness and roughness, in part via upregulation of keratinocyte differentiation, epidermal lipid synthesis, hyaluronic acid and collagen synthesis, and inhibition of inflammation, in addition to stimulation of fibroblast proliferation and aquaporin 3 expression. However, the heterogeneity among the included studies and their limited sample sizes preclude firm conclusions regarding the benefits of oral collagen peptides for cutaneous biophysical properties. Further research is needed to assess the efficacy of different collagen peptide sources and types across individual skin biophysical outcomes.
