Objective:
To investigate the effects of Baduanjin exercise in diabetes mellitus.
Methods:
Literature retrieval will be performed in seven databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wan Fang Database, Chinese Scientific Journal Database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, PubMed, The Cochrane Library, and Embase from inception to December 31, 2020. Systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials on investigating the effects of Baduanjin exercise in diabetic patients will be identified. To assess the reporting and methodological quality of the included systematic reviews by means of preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis statement and a measurement tool to assess systematic reviews -2 tool.
Results:
The umbrella review results will indicate the effects of Baduanjin exercise in diabetes mellitus, and these results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals and conferences.
Conclusion:
The study will provide more convincing evidence for the effects of Baduanjin exercise in diabetes mellitus. In addition, it might provide some specific suggestions for Chinese medical clinical practice or guideline.
Ethics and dissemination:
No ethical approval is required since the study data are sourced from published literature.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most frequent cancer globally; according to the latest data, the incidence of new colorectal cancer cases was as high as 10%, and the number of new cases worldwide reached 1.93 million in 2020 (Sung et al., 2021). One of the most common treatment options for CRC in clinical practice is radical resection combined with chemotherapy, which has greatly improved the survival rate (Iveson et al., 2019). However, the quality of life of CRC patients has not been promoted significantly due to the many adverse effects caused by cancer itself and treatments, especially chemotherapy, such as chronic pain, sleep disturbances, fatigue, depression and so on (Ketelaers et al., 2022;Sakr et al., 2020).Therefore, the burden of follow-up care for CRC survivors is expected to increase, and exploring ways to improve cancer-related symptoms and quality of life in this population deserves attention.Cancer-related fatigue (CRF), a sustained and distressing sense of tiredness or exhaustion, is currently recognized as one of the
