Abstract
Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a metabolically stressed liver injury closely related to insulin resistance and genetic susceptibility and has become the leading chronic liver disease in China.
Purpose: To analyze the effectiveness of five Chinese patent medicines used alone or in combination with western medications (WM) for NAFLD using Bayesian network meta-analysis.
Methods: Searches were conducted in Embase, Cochrane Library, PubMed, CNKI, Wanfang Database, VIP, and SinoMed for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on Danning tablets, Huazhi Rougan granules, Dangfei Liganning capsules, Kezhi capsules, and Qianggan capsules, either alone or in combination with WM for NAFLD, up to January 10, 2024. This study was screened based on pre-designed inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the risk of bias was evaluated using the Cochrane ROB2 tool. The primary outcome was clinical efficacy rate, while secondary outcomes included levels of Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Triglycerides (TG), and Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). These data will be analyzed using WinBUGS 1.4.3 and then visualized using Stata 14.0 software.
Results: A total of 77 RCTs involving 7770 patients were included. The results indicated that Huazhi Rougan granules combined with WM (OR = 0.13, 95 % CI 0.05 ∼ 0.26) had a SUCRA probability value of 81.7 %, ranked first in clinical efficacy and significantly improved blood lipids levels including TG, High-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C), and LDL-C, Total cholesterol (TC). For the Chinese patent medicines alone, Danning tablets led with a 75.3 % clinical efficacy rate. Huazhi Rougan granules significantly increased levels of ALT (96.2 %) and AST (MD = -14.48, 95 % CI -23.38 ∼ -5.32). Dangfei Liganning capsules demonstrated significant efficacy in improving TG (73.1 %) and TC (83 %) levels.
Conclusion: In the treatment of NAFLD, the combination of Huazhi Rougan granules and WM demonstrated significant clinical effectiveness and improvement in blood lipid profiles. For different outcome indicators, Danning tablets used alone showed the highest clinical efficacy, while significant improvement in liver function indicators was best achieved with Huazhi Rugan granules used alone.
