SRs\/MAs of external application of CHM for DFUs were collected by searching Cochrane Library, Web of science, CNKI, PubMed, VIP, Embase and Wanfang. Two independent reviewers carried out the literature selection and data extraction. Subsequently, AMSTAR\u20102 tool, PRISMA, and GRADE system were applied by two reviewers independently to evaluate the methodological quality, reporting quality, and evidence quality of the included studies, respectively. Eight SRs\/MAs met the eligibility criteria and were included. According to AMSTAR\u20102, a very low methodological quality assessment was given to the included SRs\/MAs due to the flaws of items 2, 4 and 7. The PRISMA system identified protocol and registration weaknesses, as well as search method weaknesses. With GRADE, no high\u2010quality evidence was identified to support the role of external application of CHM for DFUs, and the quality of evidence for the vast majority of outcomes was rated as low or moderate. In conclusion, low\u2010 to moderate\u2010quality evidence supports the promise of external application of CHM for the treatment of DFUs. Due to the limitations of the evidence supporting external application of CHM for DFUs, rigorously designed and larger samples of high\u2010quality studies are needed going forward before broad recommendations can be made.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/iwj.14563","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,23]],"date-time":"2023-12-23T00:14:21Z","timestamp":1703290461000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["RETRACTED:
