Pelotherapy, thalassotherapy, and electrotherapy for skin treatment: current insights and future perspectives on electropelotherapy.
Review in International journal of biometeorology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This work aims to review and summarize the existing knowledge on Electropelotherapy, a new therapeutical approach for physical rehabilitation practices. Research was conducted on scientific literature covering general topics (e.g., clays, peloids) and the positive health outcomes. More specific keywords (e.g., thalassotherapy, the role of Dead Sea salts, electropelotherapy, dermal bioaccessibility), focusing on improving human healthcare and well-being. A growing global interest for natural muds is linked to its documented health and well-being benefits. Thalassotherapy is a traditional therapeutical technique extensively explored and applied over the years. Similarly, electrotherapy is a well-established method for physical rehabilitation. It is proven that both therapies can provide positive benefits for human health. Studies showing the success of combining both therapies are reduced, with only one pilot study conducted on equines, to assess the potential effectiveness. Additional studies are crucial to fully understand the potential and clinical applications of electropelotherapy in physical rehabilitation, and potentially contributing to the development of innovative strategies to enhance patient recovery.
