Repeated Exposure to Hydroperoxides of Linalool Induces Immunologically Verified Allergic Contact Dermatitis.
Article in Contact dermatitis, 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
backgroundFragrance allergens are a leading cause of contact allergy (CA). Linalool, common in cosmetics and household products, forms sensitising hydroperoxides (Lin-OOH) upon air exposure. Lin-OOH is linked to a high prevalence (3.9%-11.7%) of positive patch test results, but often gives rise to doubtful or irritant reactions.
objectivesTo reassess patch test concentrations of Lin-OOH, determine elicitation threshold under repeated exposure, and explore associated immunological responses.
methodsPatch testing was followed by a twice daily, 21 days repeated open application test (ROAT) using a Lin-OOH-containing simulated perfume at three different concentrations (blinded to the participants and the investigators). Twelve sensitised individuals with CA to Lin-OOH and 20 healthy controls were included. Skin biopsies from a subset were analysed via RT-qPCR.
resultsLin-OOH 1.0% was the most reliable patch test concentration to confirm CA in our patient cohort. Positive ROAT reactions occurred in 4/12 (33%) patients at 0.163% Lin-OOH (1630 ppm), 2/12 (17%) at 0.054% (538 ppm) and 1/12 (8%) at 0.018% (179 ppm); none in controls. Gene expression analysis showed upregulation of IL1 family members (IL1β and IL1RN), type 2 immune response (IL4 and GATA3) and chemokines (CCL22).
conclusionsLin-OOH elicited dose-dependent reactions in sensitised individuals during both patch testing and simulated use (ROAT). Molecular profiling of biopsy samples confirmed activation of immune pathways consistent with CA to fragrances following patch testing.
