Background: There is no evidence-based data to confirm the efficacy of Yiqi Yangyin Jiedu Decoction (YYJD) in postoperative thyroid cancer patients. Therefore, in order to provide new evidence-based medical evidence for clinical treatment, we used this protocol to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of YYJD in postoperative patients with thyroid cancer. Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis has been prospectively registered in the PROSPERO (No. CRD42022365826). Six databases, including Medicine, Embase, Cochrane, CNKI, Wan Fang, and VIP, will be searched from their inception to February 1, 2023. Clinical controlled studies investigating the efficacy and safety of YYJD in patients after thyroid cancer surgery will all be considered for inclusion. The primary outcomes are tumor recurrence rate and overall survival. The secondary outcomes include treatment-related adverse effects, length of hospital stay, and patient satisfaction. All data will be analyzed using R version 3.4.3 to calculate pooled standardized mean differences for outcomes. Data that can not be retrieved will be interpreted from graphs using digital ruler software. Results: The results of this paper will fill a gap in the literature regarding this project. Conclusion: We assume that the YYJD has a positive effect.
Background: There is no evidence-based data to confirm the efficacy of Yiqi Huoxue Yangxin Decoction combined with Western medicine in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Therefore, in order to provide new medical evidence for clinical treatment, we used this protocol to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on the effectiveness and safety of Yiqi Huoxue Yangxin Decoction combined with Western medicine in patients with CHD. Methods: The systematic review protocol is registered in PROSPERO under registration number CRD42022372800. The systematic literature review will follow PRISMA guidelines (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). The following search terms will be used in PUBMED, Scopus, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wan Fang, and VIP on December 1, 2022. Two independent authors extract the following descriptive raw information from selected studies: study characteristics such as authors, year of publication, study design; patient demographic information such as number of patients, mean age, body mass index, and sex ratio. The primary outcome of interest is symptom scores. Secondary outcomes include ECG effective rate, improvement of blood lipid index, and adverse events. The Cochrane Bias Risk Tool is used independently by 2 reviewers to assess the risk of bias in included randomized controlled trials. The quality of retrospective studies will be assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Conclusions: The results of our review will be reported strictly following the PRISMA criteria and the review will add to the existing literature by showing compelling evidence and improved guidance in clinic settings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
