Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Multiple clinical trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses indicate that turmeric extract has significant anti-inflammatory properties and performs comparably to standard nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen in managing inflammatory conditions such as osteoarthritis.

The analysis

The claim specifically states that turmeric extract matches the efficacy of ibuprofen in managing inflammation. This is a falsifiable, empirical claim that passes Step 0. The retrieved literature includes multiple systematic reviews and meta-analyses (such as papers [0], [9], and [10]) that evaluate curcumin/turmeric extract and directly compare its efficacy against standard NSAIDs (like ibuprofen) in managing inflammatory conditions like osteoarthritis, finding comparable results and significant reductions in inflammatory markers. There are no refuting papers provided in the set that contradict this equivalence. Therefore, the balance verdict is SUPPORTED.
