A deep dive into herbal extraction: Techniques, trends, and technological advancements.
Article in South African journal of botany : official journal of the South African Association of Botanists = Suid-Afrikaanse tydskrif vir plantkunde : amptelike tydskrif van die Suid-Afrikaanse Genootskap van Plantkundiges, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Extraction, a vital process in herbal medicine, is crucial for isolating beneficial components from plant materials while eliminating unwanted elements. The modern pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries are increasingly integrating traditional practices with advanced technologies to enhance efficacy and safety. This review aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of various aspects of herbal extraction, from initial steps like drying and size reduction to solvent selection, including water, methanol, and natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES). It examines the properties and suitability of these solvents for diverse plant extractions. The discourse extends to different extraction methods, encompassing liquid-liquid, solid phase, and solid-liquid techniques, detailing each method. From traditional methods like infusion and decoction to modern approaches such as pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), the review explores a range of extraction techniques. It also discusses the potential synergistic effects of combining extracts from different plants or employing multiple extraction methods to enhance therapeutic efficacy. Strategic selection of extraction methods is emphasized, balancing biological activity with practical considerations. Patent trends in herbal extraction methods provide insights into emerging innovations. By elucidating traditional and modern techniques, this discussion aims to assist practitioners with practical knowledge to optimize herbal extraction, ensuring premium-quality extracts tailored for medicinal and nutraceutical applications. Ultimately, this review aims to guide researchers and practitioners in navigating the complex herbal extraction landscape, driving advancements in pharmaceutical medicine.
