Effects of Collagen Hydrolysate-Based Protein Complexes on Physical Endurance, Glucose Metabolism, and Renal Function in Rats.
Article in Nutrients, 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesThe increasing prevalence of nutrition-related diseases and the limited availability of convenient, metabolically safe, high-protein foods represent a pressing public health challenge. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of four composite animal-derived high-protein ingredients based on collagen enzymatic hydrolysates on physical endurance, feeding behaviour, carbohydrate metabolism, renal function, and behavioural parameters in rats.
methodsFour lyophilised collagen hydrolysate-based ingredients were developed using enzymatic biotransformation of bovine and porcine raw materials, combined with bovine whey protein concentrate, bovine meat trim hydrolysate, porcine blood plasma proteins, and an api-component (Samples 1-4; protein content 87-89%). Ninety male Wistar rats were randomised into one control group and four experimental groups (n = 20 per experimental group, n = 10 controls) and received test samples by intragastric gavage at 3000 mg/kg/day for 40 days. Physical endurance was assessed via a weighted forced swimming test (days 0, 30, and 40); behavioural status by open field, adhesive removal, and marble burying tests; and biochemical parameters (blood glucose, serum urea, creatinine, urinary protein, and GFR) at days 0 and 40.
resultsAll experimental groups demonstrated a significant reduction in standard chow consumption (19-24%,
conclusionsForty-day administration of collagen hydrolysate-based protein complexes improved physical endurance and glucose metabolism, reduced food intake without compromising body weight, and did not impair renal function or behavioural status in healthy adult rats. These findings support the potential of such ingredients as functional food components, pending confirmation of long-term safety in extended studies.
