The methodology quality of the included studies was evaluated,and a Meta-analysis was performed using Rev Man 5. 3 software. A total of six randomized controlled trials were included. Meta-analysis results showed that the similarities in the negative conversion rate of HBe Ag( RR = 2. 09,95%CI[0. 90,4. 85],P = 0. 09,I2= 0%),the HBV-DNA negative rate( RR = 1. 49,95% CI[0. 56,3. 95],P = 0. 43,I2= 0%) and the changes in ALT levels before and after treatment( RR =-6. 28,95%CI[-72. 83,60. 27],P = 0. 85,I2= 99%),with no statistical difference. In terms of quality of life,Gantaishu Capsules can significantly alleviate the symptoms of hepatitis B patients,with less adverse reactions.
