“…Statistical heterogeneity was assessed through I2 statistic [13]. The I2 values of 25%-50% indicated low heterogeneity; values of 50%-75% indicated moderate heterogeneity, and values > 75% indicated high heterogeneity [14]. Begg's and Egger's tests were used to assess potential publication bias [15] [16].…”

This meta-analysis aimed to systematically assess the prevalence of Activities of Daily Living (ADL) disability among elderly in China. Two reviewers conducted a meta-analysis using articles available in nine databases. Methods: The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to assess the quality of the studies. The random-effects model was used to estimate the prevalence of ADL disability. The source of heterogeneity among subgroups was determined by subgroup analysis of different parameters. Publication bias was assessed using a funnel plot and Egger test. A total of 100 studies involving 291235 subjects were included.

“…The Cochran Q test was used to assess the heterogeneity between studies ( Higgins et al, 2003 ). We also conducted I 2 testing to assess the magnitude of the heterogeneity between studies, with values >50% indicating moderate-to-high heterogeneity ( Sidik and Jonkman, 2022 ). Stata (version 15.0) and Review Manager (version 5.4) were used for all statistical analyses.…”

Background: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Danggui Niantong Decoction (DGNT) systematically on gout treating.Methods: This study was registered in PROSPERO, and the registration number was CRD42021271607. By the end of December, 2022, literature research was conducted among eight electronic databases. Main results of this study were blood uric acid (BUA) and Creactive protein (CRP). Secondary outcomes were erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), serum creatinine (Scr), urinary protein quantified at 24 h (Upro), and interleukin-8 (IL-8). Study screening, data collection, as well as quality assessment were performed by two reviewers independently, and analysis was completed using Stata (SE15.0) and Review Manager (5.4).Results: A total number of 13 studies were included in our meta-analysis (n = 1,094 participants). Results showed DGNT combined with conventional western medicine (CWM) was more effective than WM alone in BUA (weighted mean differences (WMD) = −3.49, 95% confidence interval (CI) [−50.36, −32.59], p = 0.000), CRP (WMD = −41.48, 95% CI [−4.32, −2.66], p = 0.017), ESR (WMD = −6.23, 95% CI [−9.28, −3.17], p = 0.019), Scr (WMD = −18.64, 95% CI [−23.09, −14.19], p = 0.001), Upro (WMD = −0.72, 95% CI [−0.91, −0.53], p = 0.000), and IL-8 (WMD = −4.77, 95% CI [−11.48, 1.94], p = 0.000). None of the adverse effects noted were severe, and no life-threatening event was reported.Conclusion: This study shows that DGNT combined with CWM seems to have an effective clinical therapeutic potential. In addition, it also provides a scientific basis for better clinical application of DGNT in the future.Systematic Review Registration:https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42021271607; Identifier: PROSPERO, CRD42021271607.
