回顾 Cochrane 系统评价中关于中药治疗急性呼吸道感染（ARTI）有效性的证据，并讨论当前中药临床试验的局限性。由于缺乏高质量的中医试验，六项 Cochrane 系统评价的证据薄弱。局限性通常是由于影响结果有效性的偏差造成的。中药广泛用于治疗 ARTI。然而，所确定的研究都没有经过精心设计或进行。在本概述中，我们建议需要根据国际公认的标准重新进行中药治疗 ARTI 的临床试验。
To review the evidence from Cochrane systematic reviews for the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicinal (TCM) herbs for treating acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs) and to discuss the limitations of current clinical trials of TCM. Evidence from six Cochrane systematic reviews was weak owing to the lack of high-quality TCM trials. Limitations were usually due to biases that influenced the validity of results. TCM is widely used for treating ARTIs. However, none of the identified studies has been well designed or conducted. In this overview, we suggest that clinical trials of TCM for ARTIs need to be re-run in accordance with internationally recognized standards.
