Abstract:Objective To evaluate the efficacy of oral traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations combined with Acitretin in the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris (PV) by mesh meta-analysis. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCT) of oral traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations combined with Acitretin in the treatment of PV were searched from CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Data, PubMed, EMbase, and Web of Science. The retrieval time was from the inception to March 2022. The included literatures were screened, data extracted, and quality evaluated. Stata 14.0 was used for mesh meta-analysis. Results Finally, 38 RCTs were included, involving 12 traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations, and 3 695 subjects were enrolled. The results of mesh meta-analysis showed that the effective rate, psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) of oral traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations combined with Acitretin were better than those of Acitretin alone or combined with other adjuvant drugs (P<0.05). In terms of effective rate, Renfu Zhiyang Capsules (OR=16.06, 95%CI: 2.79 to 92.32) combined with Acitretin had the best effect, followed by Zidan Yinxie Granules (OR=8.47, 95%CI: 1.00 to 71.94). In terms of PASI, Zidan Yinxie Granules (SMD=-2.25, 95%CI: -3.21 to -1.28) were the best, followed by Keyin Pills (SMD=-1.99, 95%CI: -2.96 to -1.01). The comparation-correction funnel plot showed that the risk of publication bias is less likely. Conclusion Oral traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations combined with Acitretin has better effect in the treatment of PV, but it should still be used cautiously according to the patient’s situation in clinic.
