Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration\u2019s tool. Meta-analyses and forest plots were generated using Review Manager 5.3. Evidence quality was evaluated per the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Meta-analyses of 122 RCTs (n = 11,252 participants) showed that dampness-eliminating CHM, when combined with lifestyle interventions, improved fasting plasma glucose (FPG), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and body mass index (BMI), but exerted limited impacts on 2-h postprandial glucose (2hPG) and systolic blood pressure (SBP). When used as an adjunct to pharmacotherapy, CHM significantly enhanced reductions in FPG, 2hPG, SBP, and DBP. The effects of CHM on lipid profiles were modest and uncertain. Although dampness-eliminating CHM as a whole conferred benefits for obesity, no outstanding formula with robust evidence was identified. Across all included RCTs, no additional adverse events were observed compared to pharmacotherapy alone. Promising CHM formulae included\n                      <jats:italic>Gegen Qinlian Decoction<\/jats:italic>\n                      for diabetes and\n                      <jats:italic>Banxia Baizhu Tianma Decoction<\/jats:italic>\n                      for hypertension.

Overall, while the meta-analysis suggested promising findings for dampness-eliminating CHM in modulating metabolic conditions, the certainty of evidence was limited due to heterogeneity and lack of blinding. Specifically, the quality of evidence for individual CHM formulae was unsatisfactory, as most studies were of small scale.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Dampness-eliminating CHM may serve as a complementary therapy for metabolic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes.
