ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Several studies have explored the efficacy and safety of various traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) injections for unstable angina pectoris.

This Bayesian network meta-analysis was carried out to evaluate and compare the efficacy of different TCM injections in treating unstable angina pectoris.

Methods

A systematic search was implemented across PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science, with the date of search cutoff being February 2024. The Cochrane risk of bias tool was utilized to evaluate the bias risk in the included studies.
