PG - e31664 LID - 10.1097/MD.0000000000031664 [doi] LID - e31664 AB - BACKGROUND: Meta-analysis was used to evaluate the efficacy of Fufang Biejia Ruangan Tablets in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) liver fibrosis. METHODS: Databases, including PubMed, China Knowledge Network (CNKI), China Biomedical Database (CBM), Wan Fang, VIP database, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched. The time was searched up to May 2022. The participant intervention comparator outcomes of this study were as follows: P, patients with CHB liver fibrosis; I, Fufang Biejia Ruangan Tablets; C, pharmacological placebo; O, the efficacy rate, alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBIL), albumin (ALB), procollagen III protein (PIIIP), hyaluronic acid (HA), laminin (LN), collagen C type IV (IV-C), portal vein diameter, spleen thickness and HBV-DNA negative conversion rate. The Cochrane Risk of Bias tool, Begg's test and Egger's test were used to evaluate the methodological quality of eligible studies. A randomized controlled trial of Fufang Biejia Ruangan Tablets was used to treat CHB liver fibrosis. Three reviewers independently selected trials, extracted data, cross-checked, and performed methodological quality assessments. Data analysis was completed by Review Manager 5.3. RESULTS: Twenty-six studies with 2717 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis showed that Fufang Biejia Ruangan Tablets was effective by increasing the efficacy. Fufang Biejia Ruangan Tablets was more efficient in improving ALT, AST, TBIL, ALB, PIIIP, HA, LN, IV-C, portal vein diameter, spleen thickness, and HBV-DNA negative conversion rate with no serious adverse reactions. CONCLUSION: It was shown that Fufang Biejia Ruangan Tablets can effectively improve liver function and relieve liver fibrosis, but future research should focus on rigorously designed, multicenter, and large randomized controlled trials.
