Background: Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) are among the most common infections worldwide. They manifest in a variety of forms, such as erysipelas, cellulitis, and necrotizing fasciitis. Antibiotics are the significant method for clinical treatment of SSTIs. This study reported a methodology framework to determine the efficacy and safety of iclaprim in treatment of SSTIs.Methods: We will search the PubMed, EMbase, CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP, and ClinicalTrials.gov from their inception to June 2022 for randomized controlled trials and cohort studies on iclaprim with SSTIs. Two authors will independently screen the eligible studies, assess the quality of the included papers, and extract the required information. Randomized controlled trials will be assessed using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool. The Newcastle–Ottawa Scale will be used to evaluate observational studies. The quality of the evidence will be evaluated using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment Development and Evaluation system. RevMan 5.3 will be used for the data synthesis and quantitative analysis.Results and Discussions: This study will provide the clinicians with more high-quality evidence to choose iclaprim for patients with SSTIs.Ethics and Dissemination: This systematic review and meta-analysis will be based on published data, so ethical approval is not necessary. The results of this meta-analysis will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Background: Congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) is the third most common musculoskeletal disease in children. With no standardized treatment method hence, so it is necessary to find an effective treatment method that can be received comfortably by children. This review assessed the efficacy of an external treatment of herbal medicine (ETHM) with tuina for CMT in children. Methods: This study searched the English, Chinese, and Korean databases (total of 10) until June 7 2022, without any language restrictions. All included studies were randomized clinical trials (RCTs) of ETHM with tuina as an intervention comparted to the same tuina alone according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The mean differences (MD), standardized mean differences (SMD), risk ratio (RR) with the 95% confidence interval (CI), and risk of bias (ROBs) were calculated using Review Manager Version 5.4 software. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) rating system was used to assess the quality of evidence. The publication bias was evaluated using a funnel plot, the Egger test, the fail-safe N test, and the Duval and Tweedle’s trim and fill method using Review Manager Version 5.4 software, the software R Version 4.1.1 and R studio Version 1.4.1106 program. Results: Nineteen RCTs with 1710 patients were included in the meta-analysis. ETHM plus tuina improved the outcomes of the total effective rate (TER) [RR 1.21, 95% CI:1.15 to 1.26, P < .001], sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle thickness [MD: −1.82, 95% CI: −2.23 to −1.41, P < .001], cervical rotation range [MD: 13.43, 95% CI: 10.41–16.45, P < .001] and lateral flexion range [MD: 8.50, 95% CI: 6.15–10.85, P < .001], tissue elasticity grade [SMD: −0.46; 95% CI: −0.71 to −0.22, P = .0002], muscle elasticity scores [RR: 1.56; 95% CI: 1.04 to 2.34, P = .03], and clinical symptom and sign scores [SMD: −0.78; 95% CI: −1.09 to −0.47, P < .001]. Conclusions: ETHM plus tuina have a combined effect on CMT children. However, further studies with high-quality clinical trials are needed to obtain more robust clinical evidence.
