Assessment scope

Stored-material review date: Not recorded
Original evidence cut-off: 2026-08-26
Scope actually checked: Existing review summaries and stored records of methodological application. Full papers, supplements, registrations, plans and original data were not read.
What the dates mean: This is the date the stored materials were checked, not the date of a new search of the clinical literature.
Population: Early knee osteoarthritis trial in adults with Kellgren–Lawrence grade 1–2: 80 randomized, 40/40, distinguished from primary efficacy PP60/80, exclusion of 20/80 (25%) and safety population of 80. PP KL imbalance P=.037 and detailed baseline/recruitment, group denominators, missingness/deviations remain original accounts or unverified.
Ingredient, formulation and route: The specific research product was low-molecular-weight collagen peptide, 3 g daily. Detailed molecular weight, source/composition, batches and actual exposure are unverified. This is not transferred to undenatured type II, ordinary hydrolyzed type I/III or all oral collagen; no new intake instructions, product recommendations or treatment methods are created.
Dose: Original 3 g daily for 180 days is retained. PP inclusion required at least 80% adherence and no major deviation, distinct from actual individual adherence, changes and discontinuation. No conversion/implementation guidance for other doses, durations or long-term exposure is created.
Comparator: Double-blind randomized trial versus placebo manufactured by NEWTREE. Allocation generation/concealment, role-specific masking, placebo ingredients/matching, accompanying pain management and actual implementation are unverified. Company nonparticipation is a paper declaration, not current confirmation of independence.
Measured outcome: Selected prespecified primary endpoint: baseline-to-day-180 WOMAC pain change. Original PP60 changes of -1.90±4.14 versus +0.61±3.97 with placebo and approximate between-group -2.51 points/P=.006 are retained. Group-specific PP observed denominators, meaning of ±, scale range/units, original model/CI are unverified or originally unreported. The 10-point WOMAC total sample-size assumption and post hoc SMD 0.46/external AAOS 0.39 are separate planning/interpretive context, not a prespecified pain-success threshold. VAS P=.299 is a different result.
Duration: The 180-day study and prespecified WOMAC change timing are retained. Actual individual visit windows, repeated/intermediate results, completed follow-up/exposure and long-term outcomes are unverified. Exact VAS timing is not filled from WOMAC timing.
Questions outside this scope: Mixing WOMAC pain, WOMAC total and VAS scales, timing, estimands, denominators or hierarchy; Calculating new effects, CIs, final values or response rates from original ± values, P values or sample size, or relabeling original approximate -2.51/SMD as a current calculation; Using the same-direction ITT account to fill quantitative effects, significance or confirmed CI; Reusing PP60/80, exclusion of 20/80 (25%), randomized 40/40 or safety population of 80 as the same confirmed denominator for the selected outcome; Turning the 10-point WOMAC total sample-size assumption or post hoc SMD 0.46/external AAOS 0.39 into a prespecified pain/VAS success threshold; Extending positive WOMAC results to all pain scales/collagen, or converting nonsignificant VAS into exact zero effect, equivalence or certified exclusion of all important benefit; Totaling the same report/KCT, participants/groups, scales, time points or sibling sheets as new independent trials/participants; Turning product/placebo manufacture, support, company/subsidiary affiliations or nonparticipation declarations into new confirmation of independence or all detailed disclosures; Assigning parent scores/axes or historical cross-checks to subclaim scores, current review or original-material reading; New calculations, hypothetical values, effects/CIs, grades, independence certification or implementation guidance for collagen/product intake or pain/knee treatment

Material type: Double-blind placebo-controlled randomized trial
Materials actually read: Summary read; external material unread
Findings recorded in the stored summary: -1.90±4.14 versus +0.61±3.97, approximate between-group -2.51 points, P=.006; VAS P=.299. Selected WOMAC concerns original prespecified day-180 baseline change in PP60/P=.006. Approximate -2.51 is an existing historical reported/explanatory value, not a new calculation. The preserved historical account of absent between-group CI is retained.
Record level: Outcome wording in the stored summary
Study overlap and independent replication: S01 Kim DU2025/KCT0005507 concerns a double-blind placebo-controlled 180-day trial in 80 adults with Kellgren–Lawrence grade 1–2, randomized 40/40. Primary PP60/80 with exclusion of 20/80 (25%) for the specific 3-g-daily low-molecular-weight peptide is distinct from safety population of 80. Prespecified primary day-180 WOMAC pain change of -1.90±4.14 versus +0.61±3.97, approximate between-group -2.51 points/P=.006, and concurrent VAS P=.299 are different scales/results. Exact VAS timing, observed/analysis denominators, group values/CI/hierarchy are unverified in the current summary. Same-direction ITT accounts, PP KL imbalance P=.037, the 10-point WOMAC total sample-size assumption, post hoc SMD 0.46/external AAOS 0.39 and manufacturer support/author-relationship gaps are distinguished. The same report, registration, 80 participants/PP60, groups, scales, time points and sibling sheets are not totaled as new independent trials/participants. Report/material slots do not establish unique clinical-trial, participant or independent-replication totals; no new totals or independence certification are made.

Report counts versus independent study counts

S01 Kim DU2025/KCT0005507 concerns a double-blind placebo-controlled 180-day trial in 80 adults with Kellgren–Lawrence grade 1–2, randomized 40/40. Primary PP60/80 with exclusion of 20/80 (25%) for the specific 3-g-daily low-molecular-weight peptide is distinct from safety population of 80. Prespecified primary day-180 WOMAC pain change of -1.90±4.14 versus +0.61±3.97, approximate between-group -2.51 points/P=.006, and concurrent VAS P=.299 are different scales/results. Exact VAS timing, observed/analysis denominators, group values/CI/hierarchy are unverified in the current summary. Same-direction ITT accounts, PP KL imbalance P=.037, the 10-point WOMAC total sample-size assumption, post hoc SMD 0.46/external AAOS 0.39 and manufacturer support/author-relationship gaps are distinguished. The same report, registration, 80 participants/PP60, groups, scales, time points and sibling sheets are not totaled as new independent trials/participants. Report/material slots do not establish unique clinical-trial, participant or independent-replication totals; no new totals or independence certification are made.
