Concise ethnobotanical review and botanical pharmacognosy of turmeric rhizome (
Review in Pharmaceutical biology, 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
contextTurmeric (
objectivePresented an ethnobotanical record of turmeric use to present a context for this edition on turmeric.
methodsInformation was primarily compiled from online sources including PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Science Direct using 'turmeric', 'curcuma', and 'curcuma longa' as search terms; No time limit was specified. The primary goal was to mine ethnobotanical literature regarding turmeric use of various cultures. Online searches were augmented by hardcopy searches of ethnobotanical, and pharmacognosy literature from the first century. RESULTS AND
conclusionTurmeric is used in an array of preparations. It is listed among the top ten spices in the world and is used as a dye, medicine, object of cultural and religious significance, and coloring agent. Turmeric is used in African, Ayurvedic, Korean, Malaysian, Siddha, Chinese, Persian, Unani, and Western herbal traditions though India remains the largest producer and consumer of turmeric. Turmeric is universally used to support healthy gastrointestinal, circulatory, respiratory, and renal systems. The treatment of jaundice was one of turmeric's primary historical indications. In combination with other botanicals, turmeric is used for treating almost any condition. Following is an ethnobotanical review of its traditional uses and select botanical pharmacognostic characteristics used for ensuring authenticity of raw material, including a discussion of some of the most common adulterants of turmeric products.
