The risk of bias in the included RCTs was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool (ROB2). Meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager, and the sensitivity analysis was conducted using Stata 18 software. The quality of evidence was evaluated with the GRADE approach. Furthermore, Trial Sequential Analysis (TSA) was employed to determine the required sample size and to verify the reliability of the findings. The review protocol was registered and published on PROSPERO (CRD420251156842).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This study included 12 RCTs involving 1,138 patients. Compared with conventional therapy alone, the combination of XPYEG significantly improves core symptoms, which is clinically significant. Core Symptom and Functional Outcomes: Compared with the control group, adjunctive XPYEG therapy resulted in a notable reduction in the frequency of NE [MD\u2009=\u20091.55, 95% CI (0.66, 2.43),\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.00001], a metric of direct relevance to quality of life. This symptomatic relief was supported by overall response rate [RR\u2009=\u20091.25, 95% CI (1.18, 1.32),\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.00001] and objective functional improvements, including a significant increase in age-expected bladder capacity [MD\u2009=\u200941.31, 95% CI (36.31, 46.32),\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.00001]. Long-term Trajectory and Safety: The combined regimen was further associated with a substantially lower risk of symptom recurrence [RR\u2009=\u20090.30, 95% CI (0.18, 0.49),\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.00001] and a reduced incidence of adverse reactions [RR\u2009=\u20090.35, 95% CI (0.15, 0.80),\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.00001], underscoring its potential as a sustainable and well-tolerated adjunctive strategy. Biochemical Correlates: Accompanying these clinical benefits, favorable modulations were observed in antidiuretic hormone (AVP) levels [MD\u2009=\u20096.40, 95% CI (5.18, 7.62),\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.00001], urinary osmolality [MD\u2009=\u200944.61, 95% CI (38.72, 50.48),\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.00001] and related second messenger pathways (cAMP, cGMP, and BVWI). While statistically significant, these findings serve primarily as supportive mechanistic rationale rather than direct indicators of patient-centered benefit.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Xingpi Yanger Granule may improve overall response, moderately reduce urinary frequency, and increase bladder capacity, while also lowering the recurrence rate and the incidence of adverse events. However, given that the evidence is limited in scope and rated as low to moderate quality, current conclusions should be interpreted with caution. Well-designed, large-scale, multicenter randomized controlled trials are needed to validate these potential benefits.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
