Objective To systematically evaluate the potential effectiveness of JinHuang powder in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). Methods Databases including PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CBM, WanFang data, VIP and CNKI were electronically searched from their inception to December 2013, to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about JinHuang powder for DFUs. Two reviewers screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data and assessed the methodological quality of included studies, and then meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.1 software. Results A total of 3 RCTs involving 198 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that:the JinHuang powder group were superior to the control group in total effective rate (RR=1.25, 95%CI 1.10 to 1.41, P=0.00) and the wound healing time (SMD=-3.32, 95%CI -5.69 to -0.96, P=0.00). Conclusion Current evidence suggests that the JinHuang powder is an effective therapeutic method for DFUs. Because of the limitations of quantity and quality of the eligible studies, large sample size studies are needed to validate the conclusion.
