An evidence mapping study based on systematic reviews of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for diabetic retinopathy
This evidence mapping study highlights the potential benefits of TCM for treating DR while identifying significant gaps in the existing literature. Although TCM interventions show potential benefits for treating DR, the overall quality of SRs is suboptimal. Future research should focus on addressing these gaps, particularly in areas such as funding disclosure and methodological rigor, to enhance the reliability of evidence on TCM interventions for DR.
