Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic characterized by intrahepatic accumulation and closely associated with metabolic problems. Some studies have indicated that Chaihu-Shugan-San (CSS) may positive effect on NAFLD, but robust evidence-based research to substantiate the application of CSS scarce. A meta-analysis was conducted assess clinical efficacy safety in treatment for NAFLD. Methods: The literature reporting NAFLD searched from inception October 2023 7 Chinese or English databases. Studies were screened incorporated based predefined criteria. Data extracted quality assessed independently 2 researchers according Cochrane risk bias tools. changes outcomes analyzed using mean difference (MD) 95% confidence intervals (CIs) random- fixed-effects model examine CSS. RevMan5.4 software used perform meta-analyses, meta package R 4.0.0 publication analysis. Results: total 17 involving 1576 participants meta-analysis. There high heterogeneity among all continuous outcomes. Compared common treatments, could decrease aspartate-aminotransferase (MD = −12.02, CI [−15.97, −8.07]), alanine-aminotransferase −10.89, [−16.35, −5.43]), triglyceride cholesterol levels. In addition, increase high-density lipoprotein And, lower incidence adverse events (RR 0.79, [0.33, 1.91]). Conclusion: Current evidence shows single combined use effective enzymes blood lipids. Nevertheless, it challenging reach conclusive determination owing significant ambiguous some trials. Therefore, more high-quality required implementation
