Bee Products and Traditional Plant Therapies for Wound Care: a comprehensive review of scientific evidence and clinical applications.
Review in Journal of pharmacopuncture, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Objectives: Natural substances with healing properties, especially medicinal plants and bee-derived products, have been integral to traditional medicine systems for centuries, contributing significantly to wound care. Their value lies in both their pharmacological roots and well-documented biological activities, including infection control, inflammation reduction, antioxidative protection, and tissue regeneration. This review highlights the scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of bee products and plant-based therapies in wound care, assessing their chemical composition, biological properties, and mechanisms of action. Methods: A wide range of medicinal plants and bee products are examined for their recognized therapeutic roles, with emphasis on their ability to prevent infection, modulate inflammation, counter oxidative stress, and promote healing. The review also considers complementary plant therapies that may enhance the effects of bee-derived substances. Results: Evidence from experimental and clinical studies demonstrates that natural products such as honey and propolis can effectively treat chronic wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers, by supporting tissue repair and preventing complications. Conclusion: This review affirms the therapeutic potential of bee products and medicinal plants and supports their integration into modern wound management protocols, which are increasingly being validated through scientific and clinical research.
