Methodological Quality Assessment in Systematic Review/Meta Analysis of Buyang Huanwu Tang in Treatment of Stroke
Objective: To evaluate the methodological quality of the systematic review/Meta-Analysis (SR/MA) of Buyang Huanwu Tang in treatment of stroke by comparing with other interventions. Method: CMCC
Wanfang China National Knowledge Infrastructure
VIP and Cocranhe databases were searched to select the literature on systematic review/Meta-analysis (SR/MA) of Buyang Huanwu Tang and other interventions in treatment of stroke. The retrieval time limit was up to May 2015.Oxman-Guyatt Overview Assessment Questionnaire (OQAQ) Scale was used to evaluate the methodological and reporting quality of the eligible SR/MA. Result: A total of 92 SR/MA literature were obtained
and 9 of them were finally included. The included Meta analysis literature had the following shortcomings: no comprehensive literature search
high selection bias
poor methodological quality of the original articles
and poor accuracy of data consolidation method and premise. The experimental design of the original articles had the following shortcomings: unclear randomizatioon methods
no grouping concealment
no blinding
no reporting of intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis
uncertain co-intervention and contamination. Conclusion: The number of domestic and overseas literature on SR/MA of Buyang Huanwu Tang in treating stroke is gradually increasing in recent years
but few of them could reach high quality SR/MA
so it is necessary to improve the methodological quality and regulate the experimental design
