Medicinal plants for the management of post-COVID-19 fatigue: A literature review on the role and mechanisms.
Review in Journal of traditional and complementary medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Background: COVID-19 infection has a lasting impact on human health, which is known as post-COVID-19 conditions. Fatigue is one of the most commonly reported post-COVID-19 conditions. Management of fatigue in the post-COVID-19 era is necessary and emerging. The use of medicinal plants may provide a strategy for the management of post-COVID-19 fatigue. Methods: A literature search has been conducted by using PubMed, Embase and Cochrane library databases is performed for studies published up to March 2024. Keywords, such as "post-COVID-19 conditions, persistent COVID-19 symptoms, chronic COVID-19, long-term sequelae, fatigue, post-COVID-19 fatigue, herbal plants, medicinal herbs, traditional Chinese medicine, pharmacological mechanisms, pharmacological actions" are thoroughly searched in Englsih and Chinese. This study reviews the pathophysiology of post-COVID-19 fatigue and potential herbal plants for managing post-COVID-19 fatigue. Results and conclusion: Representative medicinal plants that have been extensively investigated by previous studies are presented in the study. Three common mechanisms among the most extensively studied for post-COVID-19 fatigue, with each mechanism having medicinal plants as an example. The latest clinical studies concerning the management of post-COVID-19 fatigue using medicinal plants have also been summarized. The study shows the potential for improving post-COVID-19 fatigue by consuming medicinal plants.
