Computerised searches of the China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, Chinese BioMedical Literature Database, PubMed, Cochrane Library and Embase databases were conducted for randomised controlled trials on the use of Chinese herbal medicines combined with NPWT for the treatment of DFU. The search period ranged from the time of establishment of each database to July 2023. Literature screening and data extraction were performed independently by two investigators, and the quality of the included studies was assessed. The meta\u2010analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.4 software. A total of 25 studies were analysed, including 1777 DFUs, with 890 and 887 patients in the experimental and control groups, respectively. The results showed that the treatment of DFUs with a Chinese herbal medicine in combination with NPWT increased the overall effectiveness (odds ratio [OR]\u2009=\u20094.32, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.96\u20136.30, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), wound healing rate (mean difference [MD]\u2009=\u200918.35, 95% CI: 13.07\u201323.64, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and ankle brachial index (MD\u2009=\u20090.10, 95% CI: 0.06\u20130.14, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001); reduced the wound healing time (MD\u2009=\u2009\u221211.01, 95% CI: \u221213.25 to \u22128.78, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and post\u2010treatment wound area (MD\u2009=\u2009\u22121.73, 95% CI: \u22122.46 to \u22121.01, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001); decreased the C\u2010reactive protein level (MD\u2009=\u2009\u22123.57, 95% CI: \u22125.13 to \u22122.00, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001); and increased vascular endothelial growth factor level (MD\u2009=\u200919.20, 95% CI: 8.36\u201330.05, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Thus, Chinese herbal medicines combined with NPWT can effectively promote wound healing, reduce inflammation and shorten the disease course in patients with DFU, while demonstrating precise clinical efficacy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/iwj.14536","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,9]],"date-time":"2023-12-09T02:52:10Z","timestamp":1702090330000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["RETRACTED:
