The Effectiveness of a Topical Turmeric-Based Formulation on Contact Dermatitis: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Controlled Trial.
Article in Iranian journal of pharmaceutical research : IJPR. 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
Background: Contact dermatitis (CD) affects approximately 15% of adults worldwide, and commonly used treatments are often associated with adverse effects. Traditional medicine sources, including Persian medicine, offer promising alternatives. Based on the principles of Persian medicine, the formulation investigated in this study combines Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a 4-week intervention using CLA cream in patients with mild-to-moderate CD. Methods: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted in 64 participants who were assigned to apply either CLA cream or the base cream. Assessments included demographic characteristics, the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), the Three-Item Severity Score (TIS), and skin parameters, including transepidermal water loss (TEWL), stratum corneum hydration, skin pH, and sebum production. Statistical analyses were performed using repeated-measures analysis of variance with least significant difference post hoc tests, Friedman tests, and Wilcoxon tests. Results: The CLA group showed significantly greater decreases in TEWL and TIS scores than the control group (P = 0.004 and P = 0.003, respectively). In the within-group analysis, sebum production increased significantly after the intervention in the CLA group (P = 0.006). Conclusions: A 4-week course of CLA cream appears to ameliorate inflammatory symptoms in patients with mild-to-moderate contact dermatitis. Further large-scale, longer-duration trials are warranted to establish the clinical utility of CLA cream as a complementary therapeutic option.
