Topical β-Caryophyllene for Dermatologic Disorders: Mechanisms, Human Evidence, and Clinical Translation.
Review in Pharmaceuticals (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundChronic inflammatory skin disorders, including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, acne, and chronic wounds, affect nearly two billion people worldwide, impose substantial morbidity and economic burden, and remain only partially controlled by existing therapies. The cutaneous endocannabinoid system (ECS), comprising cannabinoid receptors, endocannabinoids, and their metabolic enzymes, regulates inflammation, pruritus, barrier integrity, and tissue repair; cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB
methodsWe systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science (inception-30 July 2025) for studies on "β-caryophyllene" and dermatological outcomes, prioritizing purified BCP and analytically characterized BCP-rich fractions. Quantitative parameters, including tested concentration ranges (0.5 µM-10%) and principal mechanistic outcomes, were extracted to provide a translational context.
resultsBCP penetrates the stratum corneum, suppresses NF-κB/MAPK and IL-4/TSLP pathways, enhances Nrf2-driven antioxidant defenses, and accelerates re-epithelialization and collagen remodeling. Across in vitro, in vivo, and formulation studies, BCP produced consistent anti-inflammatory and barrier-restorative effects within this concentration range. CB
conclusionsBCP exhibits coherent CB
