Meta Analysis[Systemic evaluation and Meta-analysis of Xianling Gubao capsule in treatment of primary osteoporosis in randomized controlled trials].
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Xianling Gubao capsule in the treatment of osteoporosis (OP). Eight Chinese and English databases were retrieved (from establishment to February 2017), and clinical trials were screened according to the preset inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria. Then risk assessment tools were used for quality evaluation of the studies, and data extraction and analysis were conducted by using RevMan 5.3 software for Meta-analysis. ⋯ The main adverse reactions reported were liver injury and gastrointestinal symptoms. Xianling Gubao capsule alone or combined use with other medicines had better efficacy than western medicine alone in the treatment of osteoporosis. However, because of potential bias in the included studies, more high-quality randomized controlled trials would be needed to improve the level of evidence.
