A Systematic Review of Plants Used for the Treatment of Diarrhea in Mozambique.
Synthesis in BioMed research international, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
Introduction: Diarrhea is one of the leading causes of mortality, particularly among children under 5 years of age in developing countries. The increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance has complicated the search for effective treatments, highlighting medicinal plants as a promising source for novel therapeutic agents. Aim: This systematic review is aimed at identifying plant species traditionally used to treat diarrhea in Mozambique and at documenting their ethnomedicinal characteristics. Methodology: A comprehensive literature search was conducted to gather information on traditional plants used for diarrhea in Mozambique. Relevant publications up to 10 April 2024 were retrieved from PubMed, ScienceDirect, libraries, and online repositories. The review was performed in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. Results: In this study, a total of 174 plants were identified as being used for the treatment of diarrhea in Mozambique, including 12 identified only to the genus level, one variety, and three subspecies. An additional 10 species were reported solely by their vernacular names. Conclusions: The study highlights the diverse range of plant traditionally used to manage diarrhea in Mozambique. These species represent promising candidates for future pharmacological and clinical research, offering potential solutions not only within Mozambique but also for addressing diarrheal diseases on a broader, global scale.
