Clinical efficacy and safety of Ganshuang granules as an adjuvant treatment for chronic hepatitis B liver fibrosis: A protocol for systematic review and meta analysis

BACKGROUND: Chronic hepatitis B liver fibrosis is significant public concern. Ganshuang granules (GSG) are used to treat liver fibrosis for a long time. The aim of this study is to synthesize related data to explore efficacy and safety of GSG as an adjuvant treatment for chronic hepatitis B liver fibrosis. METHODS: Electronic database were used to identify related studies. We chose PubMed, China Knowledge Network Infrastructure, China Biomedical Database, Wan Fang Data, VIP Database, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library as retrieval tool. Two independent individuals conducted the publication selection, data extraction, data assessment. Any problems between 2 researchers will be resolved by a third reviewer through negotiation. RevMan 5.3 (The Cochrane Collaboration, Copenhagen, Denmark) software will be used for data analysis. RESULTS: This study will systematically detect the efficacy and safety of GSG for treating chronic hepatitis B liver fibrosis. CONCLUSION: This study will provide scientific evidence to explorer whether GSG are efficacy and safety in treating chronic hepatitis B liver fibrosis. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: INPLASY202090027
