Are they surprising?

 

Background

Collagen supplements are promoted to help aging skin. However, no meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) has examined their effects by funding source and study quality, which may influence outcomes.

Methods

PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched from inception to June 14, 2024.

Results

A total of 23 RCTs with 1474 participants were analyzed. In a meta-analysis of all 23 RCTs, collagen supplements significantly improved skin hydration, elasticity, and wrinkles. However, in the subgroup meta-analysis by funding source, studies not receiving funding from pharmaceutical companies revealed no effect of collagen supplements for improving skin hydration, elasticity, and wrinkles, while those receiving funding from pharmaceutical companies did show significant effects. Similarly, high-quality studies revealed no significant effect in all categories, while low-quality studies revealed a significant improvement in elasticity.

Conclusions

There is currently no clinical evidence to support the use of collagen supplements to prevent or treat skin aging.

At the moment we have a few famous examples of similar communities coexisting

All of those communities have similar rules, there's nothing distinguishing them (!privacy@lemmy.ml for instance is different) except that mods never bothered to agree on a single place

Any instance implementing this is going to be defederated quickly by other instances due to the ease of vote manipulation.

On the other hand, sometimes posts get traction because a lot of people upvote them from All

Locking a community still allows people to comment under the pinned post, so if there's any interest to revive that community it can be done that way

  • you can't get a Toyota on top of your Huyndai in 5 minutes, you can create a Piefed account and import your Lemmy settings in 5 minutes
  • a lot of people aren't aware about Piefed, and how compatible it is with Lemmy

Luka Modric did everything he could to convince Real Madrid to let him stay: He offered to lower his salary, He accepted a bench role, He let the club take their time and make a decision when they want. The club, in the end, decided not to offer him a new deal. He waited until the end for Madrid.
