Systematic review of the effectiveness of Chinese medicine in treating osteoporotic fracture
Objective To systematically review the effectiveness of Chinese medicine in treating osteoporotic fracture.Methods Searched all full-text references in the following database from inception to June 2022,published in Chinese and English databases such as the Chinese Journal Full-text Database(CNKI),Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform,VIP Journal Integration Platform,China biology medicine disc,Science Citation Index(SCI)and so on,including clinical randomized controlled studies on the treatment of osteoporotic fractures with Chinese medicine.The clinical effectiveness and publication bias of Chinese medicine in treating osteoporotic fracture was analyzed.Results Compared with conventional drugs,Chinese medicine combined with conventional drugs showed significant clinical effectiveness in the treatment of osteoporotic fractures[OR=0.04,95%CI=(0.02,0.06),P<0.05].Among them,Chinese medicine mainly included Xianling Gubao capsule[OR=0.05,95%CI=(-0.02,0.11),P<0.05],Kanggu Zengsheng tablets[OR=0.09,95%CI=(0.05,0.13),P<0.05],Qianggu capsules[OR=0.08,95%CI=(0.03,0.14),P<0.05],Longmu Zhuanggu granules[OR=0.03,95%CI=(-0.03,0.09),P<0.05],Guyuling[OR=0.06,95%CI=(0.02,0.14),P<0.05],Tenghuan Jiangu tablet[OR=0.12,95%CI=(0.04,0.28),P<0.05].Bias analysis was performed on the clinical effectiveness of the evaluated number of sample indicators>15.The asymmetry of traits on both sides of the figure suggested that the results had certain publication bias.Conclusion The systematic review in this study failed to reach a conclusion on the significant effectiveness of Chinese medicine in the treatment of osteoporotic fracture.It is still necessary to further expand the quantity and quality of literature,unify research methods,and improve the accuracy of clinical research data in the later stage,so as to confirm the effectiveness of Chinese medicine in the treatment of osteoporotic fractures.
