ObjectiveTo characterize the evidence distribution and methodological quality of randomized controlled trials （RCTs） on oral Chinese herbal medicine （CHM） for atopic dermatitis （AD） based on evidence mapping. MethodsSeven databases （CNKI， Wanfang Data， VIP， CBM， Cochrane Library， PubMed， and Embase） and the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry were searched for the RCTs in Chinese and English. Evidence distribution was presented graphically and textually， and methodological quality was assessed via the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool （ROB 1.0）. ResultsA total of 168 RCTs were included. The number of annual publications showing an increasing trend， and 72.6% RCTs had sample sizes of 51-100 participants. The studies evaluated 108 distinct CHM interventions categorized as decoctions， granules， Chinese patent medicines， and extracts. Compound Glycyrrhizin was the most frequently used， followed by Xiaofengsan and Chushi Weiling decoction. Among the RCTs， 57.1% had the treatment courses of 4-8 weeks. Outcome measures predominantly focused on clinical response rate， skin lesion severity scores， and adverse events， with less attention to TCM symptom scores， skin barrier function， and relapse rates. The overall risk of bias was generally high. ConclusionWhile CHM for AD is a research hotspot and demonstrates clinical advantages， the related studies have problems such as unclear clinical positioning， poor research standardization and methodological quality， and insufficient prominence of TCM clinical advantages. Large-sample， methodologically rigorous， and high-quality studies are needed to enhance the evidence base for CHM in treating AD.

Objective: To analyze the mediating effect of activities of daily living (ADL) among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on caregiver ability and caregiver burden, so as to provide a basis for improving the quality of care. Methods: From February 2024 to March 2025, COPD patients and their caregivers from the Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine of a tertiary hospital in Haikou were selected using convenience sampling method. Data on the basic characteristics of both caregivers and patients were collected through questionnaire surveys. The Chinese version of the Family Caregiver Capacity Scale, the Chinese version of the Caregiver Burden Inventory, and the Barthel Index were used to assess caregiver ability, caregiver burden, and patients' ADL, respectively. The mediating effect of ADL among COPD patients on caregiver ability and caregiver burden was analyzed using the Process macro 4.0, with the significance tested via the Bootstrap method. Results: A total of 348 caregivers were surveyed, among whom 274 (78.74%) were females and 74 (21.26%) were males. The majority of caregivers were aged 40 years and above, with 291 individuals (83.62%). The relationship between caregivers and patients was primarily that of being their children, with 185 individuals (53.16%). Correspondingly, 348 COPD patients were surveyed, and the predominant type of medical insurance was the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme, with 172 cases (49.43%). The median scores of caregiver ability, caregiver burden, and patients' ADL were 19.00 (interquartile range, 5.00), 47.00 (interquartile range, 8.00) and 45.00 (interquartile range, 15.00) points, respectively. Mediating analysis showed that caregiver ability directly affected caregiver burden, with an effect value of 0.693 (95%CI: 0.553-0.832). It also indirectly affected caregiver burden through the patients' ADL, with an effect value of 0.104 (95%CI: 0.029-0.179). This mediating effect accounted for 13.05% of the total effect. Conclusion The ADL of COPD patients played a mediating role between caregiver ability and caregiver burden, with caregiver ability exerting a significant positive indirect effect on caregiver burden through patients' ADL.
