Cosmetic and Application Qualities of the Cream Physiorelax Compared to Another Topical Cream for Musculoskeletal Health Care: An Organoleptic Expert Panel Approach.
Trial report in Journal of cosmetic dermatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveRegular massages can be an instrument to help the body recover and maintain health. The growing trend toward musculoskeletal personal health care is accompanied by the use of natural products. When deciding between topical products, their characteristics become crucial, especially in sensitive skin where treatments are applied routinely. This study evaluates for the first time the cosmetic and application properties of Physiorelax, a natural musculoskeletal health care product suitable for muscle and ligament massage, compared to Fisiocrem.
methodsThis is a sensory panel methodology, using a mixed descriptive approach (qualitative/quantitative). Twenty panelists trained in quantitative sensory analysis since 2018 evaluated the two products. Product presentation was randomized and blinded. Cosmetic results are presented as percent agreement among panelists and application aspects as quantitative scores.
resultsBoth products show a comparable sensory profile, in terms of application properties: shape integrity, firmness, moisture/grease balance, spreadability, low tack afterfeel, and residue. However, in terms of an overall preference for product, 90% of panelists liked Pshysiorelax, against 70% for Fisiocrem. An additional 10% of panelists disliked Fisiocrem over Pshysiorelax (chi-square = 12.5, p = 0.002). The results should be interpreted considering the inherent limitations of the panel design itself. Future studies could assess the preference of use of the product by daily care professionals and the general population.
conclusionConsidering the panelists' general preference for Physiorelax, and the addition in this product of extra natural ingredients preserving skin care, Physiorelax seems a very good candidate for daily use for musculoskeletal health care and as a massage cream for muscles and ligaments in personal care.
