Abstract:
OBJECTIVE： To evaluate the literature quality of systematic reviews/Meta-analysis of oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation （LDH） using radar plot， and to provide scientific and effective evidence for clinical use of medicine. METHODS： Retrieving CNKI， VIP， Wanfang database， CBM， PubMed， Cochrane library and Embase during the establishement of database to Oct. 1st， 2018， the literatures about systematic reviews/Meta-analysis of oral administration of TCM in the treatment of LDH were collected. After data extraction of literatures met inclusion criteria， the quality literatures were evaluated from 6 aspects of radar plot （year of publication， design type， AMSTAR methodological quality evaluation， PRISMA reprot quality evaluation， homogeneous， publication bias risk）. The average score of rank number was calculated. Moreover， Excel 2010， Adobe Illustrator CC and other software were used to draw and optimize the radar plot. RESULTS： A total of 6 qualified literatures were included； average score of rank number of 6 aspects were 3.83， 4.67， 3.83， 3.67， 6.00， 4.67， scoring 4.56 in average. Multivariate evaluation of radar plot showed that 2 studies had higher qualities and only 1 study had lower qualities relatively. However， problems could be found such as information selection bias， inclusion and exclusion criteria， publication situation， limitations， project registration. CONCLUSIONS： The literature quality of systematic review/Meta-analysis of oral administration of TCM in the treatment of LDH need to be improved， starting with strengthening methodological quality and reporting quality. Radar plot is a visual and effective method of graphic evaluation， which is worth popularizing and applying in the future.
