Effects of Snake Fruit-Infused Massage Oil With Traditional Thai Massage on Skin Quality: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in TheScientificWorldJournal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06227260 (Development and Evaluation of Body Massage Oil, Facial Mask, and Ready-to-drink Jelly From Snake Fruit), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundSalacca zalacca (snake fruit) is rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, organic acids, and vitamin C. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of body massage oil containing snake fruit extract, in conjunction with traditional Thai massage (TTM), on skin quality in healthy individuals.
methodsSeventy-one participants aged 18-35 years were randomly assigned to one of three groups: (1) control group (n = 23) receiving TTM without oil; (2) Treatment-1 group (n = 23) receiving TTM with pure coconut oil; and (3) Treatment-2 group (n = 25) receiving TTM with snake fruit extract-infused oil. All participants received 60-min massages once weekly for 12 weeks. Skin parameters including elasticity, moisture, melanin, and oiliness were assessed at the neck, back, arm, and leg regions.
resultsAfter 12 weeks, skin elasticity significantly improved at all assessed regions in all groups (p < 0.001), with no significant between-group differences. Skin melanin levels significantly decreased at the back and leg regions across all groups (p < 0.05), with no between-group differences observed. Skin moisture significantly increased at the leg region only in the Treatment-2 group (p = 0.003). Skin oiliness significantly increased at all measured regions in both oil-based groups (Treatment-1 and Treatment-2) (p < 0.05) and was significantly higher than in the control group (p < 0.05), except at the back region in the Treatment-2 group.
conclusionMassage oil containing snake fruit extract demonstrated specific benefits in enhancing skin oiliness and localized moisture. However, it did not confer overall superiority over conventional coconut oil, while improvements in elasticity and melanin appeared to be primarily attributable to the massage technique itself.
