The Potential Systemic Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Turmeric Dried Extract.
Article in Endocrine, metabolic & immune disorders drug targets, 2025. 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
backgroundCurcumin is a polyphenolic compound derived from the food spice turmeric that has received interest from the medical and scientific world for its role in the management of several conditions. Clinical studies, in humans, have shown that ingested Curcumin is safe even at high doses (12 g/day), but it has poor bioavailability primarily due to poor absorption and rapid metabolism and elimination. Several strategies have been implemented to improve the bioavailability of Curcumin, for example, the combination of piperine in a complex with Curcumin, or the usage of formulations with phospholipid or liposomal complexes.
objectiveThe present work aims to explore and compare the systemic anti-inflammatory effects of two different types of Curcumin: a traditional fat-soluble formulation (95% Curcumin) and an innovative standardized reconstituted water-soluble one (Curcuin), made in micelles in aqueous solution.
methodsResearch was conducted on 30 patients, 15 patients were treated with turmeric (Curcuma longa L., rhizome) dried extract titled 95% Curcumin (Curcumin 425mg/day) conjugated with piperine, and 15 patients were treated with Curcumin (turmeric 286 mg dried extract titled 35%; Curcuminoids 100 mg/day, standardized water-soluble) made in micelles in highly absorbed aqueous solution. We considered the quantitative variations of laboratory parameters: Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), Ferritin (24 to 336 ng/mL for adult males), and cholesterol LDL. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Patients treated with dried extract titled 95% Curcumin, for 90 days, show a lower value of ESR, CRP, Ferritin, and LDL cholesterol compared with the same laboratory parameters before the introduction of Curcumin into the diet. Also, patients treated with Curcuin report a lower value of ESR, CRP, Ferritin, and LDL cholesterol after the introduction of turmeric dried extract in the diet, but with a major significance compared with those obtained with 95% Curcumin conjugated with piperine.
conclusionAs we had hypothesized, both turmeric-derived extracts have successfully reduced ESR, CRP, Ferritin, and cholesterol LDL values, exerting an anti-inflammatory action and anti-cholesterolemic action. These results suggest a possible use of Curcumin and in particular Curcuin as a coadjuvant for the treatment of inflammatory disease and to decrease cholesterol levels. However, additional investigation is needed to resolve doubts regarding Curcumin dosage form, dose, and medication frequency.
