Objective To evaluate the effects of Fufang Xueshuantong combined with laser photocoagulation versus laser photocoagulation alone in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Method The Web of Science, Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Library, China Biology Medicine disc, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP and Wanfang databases were searched from their establishment until June 2015. We used the method recommended by the Cochrane Collaboration to perform a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trails. RevMan 5.2 software was used for the analysis. Results Eight studies were included. The results of Meta-analysis demonstrated that Fufang Xueshuantong combined with laser photocoagulation was superior to laser photocoagulation alone in the effective rate of visual acuity[RR=1.19, 95%CI (1.12, 1.26), P<0.000 01], fundus[RR=1.34, 95%CI (1.18, 1.52), P<0.000 01], and elimination rate of macular edema[RR=1.29,95%CI(1.09,1.54),P=0.004]. Conclusions Fufang Xueshuantong combined with laser photocoagulation is effective for DR. However, due to the limited quantity and quality of the included studies, the results suggest that larger-scale trials are needed.
