Management of diabetic foot ulcers: polyherbal formulations and novel delivery systems for herbal active components.
Review in Frontiers in pharmacology, 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
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) represent devastating complications associated with high risks of amputation and mortality. The complex pathophysiology of the wound microenvironment and systemic involvement render conventional therapies costly and limited in effectiveness. Consequently, there is an urgent demand for the development of effective and comprehensive therapeutic and management strategies. Herbal medicines and their formulations can transform DFU management from passive debridement to active regeneration through multi-target synergy and holistic intervention, offering low-cost and safe alternatives. Integrating herbal active components with polymeric materials enables the development of novel delivery systems and tissue-engineered scaffolds. This interdisciplinary approach is emerging as a promising therapeutic strategy in regenerative medicine and dermal engineering. This paper compares cellular healing mechanisms in DFUs and normal wounds, elucidates the mechanisms of action of herbal medicines and their formulations in treating DFUs, and synthesizes the applications of novel delivery systems for herbal active components in DFU therapy.
