“…Two studies [ 7 , 10 ] reported blinding the outcome evaluators and were judged to be at low risk. None of the participants in ten studies [ 4 , 6 , 8 , 11 – 13 , 15 , 18 , 20 , 23 ] were dropped out. In seven of these studies [ 5 , 7 , 10 , 17 , 22 , 25 , 26 ] with dropouts, the numbers and reasons for dropping out were provided and were considered to have a low risk.…”

“…The remaining studies were combined after removing one study at a time to analyze the impact of individual studies on the combined results. The results of the analysis showed that studies by Zhou [ 20 ], Kim [ 8 ], and Wang [ 4 ] had the greatest impact. Significant heterogeneity ( I 2 > 50%) was still present, even after removing these data.…”

“…At the same time, we found that all patients included in the previous meta-analysis were from China. Therefore, we conducted a comprehensive search and found two articles from South Korea [ 8 , 13 ] and one from Baltimore, USA [ 23 ]. We only included RCTs to avoid having incorrect results due to the inclusion of non-RCTs or incomplete data.…”

Objective. This study systematically evaluated the effects of Tai Chi exercise on blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), and quality of life (QOL) in patients with hypertension. A meta-analysis was performed to provide a reliable reference for clinical practice. Methods. We searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in five English databases and two Chinese databases, with the earliest data dated December 5, 2020. A quality assessment of the methods and a meta-analysis were also conducted. Results. The meta-analysis of 24 studies showed that the intervention group showed better outcomes in terms of systolic blood pressure (SBP) (SMD −1.05, 95% CI −1.44 to −0.67, P ≤ 0.001 ; I2 = 93.7%), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (SMD −0.91, 95% CI −1.24 to −0.58, P ≤ 0.001 ; I2 = 91.9%), and QOL (physical functioning (SMD 0.86, 95% CI 0.36 to 1.37, P = 0.001 ; I2 = 91.3%), role-physical (SMD 0.86, 95% CI 0.61 to 1.11, P ≤ 0.001 ; I2 = 65%), general health (SMD 0.75, 95% CI 0.32 to 1.17, P = 0.001 ; I2 = 88.1%), bodily pain (SMD 0.65, 95% CI 0.29 to 1.00, P ≤ 0.001 ; I2 = 83.1%), vitality (SMD 0.71, 95% CI 0.34 to 1.07, P ≤ 0.001 ; I2 = 84.3%), social functioning (SMD 0.63, 95% CI 0.07 to 1.19, P = 0.027 ; I2 = 93.1%), role-emotional (SMD 0.64, 95% CI 0.22 to 1.06, P = 0.003 ; I2 = 88.1%), and mental health (SMD 0.73, 95% CI 0.31 to 1.16, P = 0.001 ; I2 = 88.2%)) compared to those of the control group. However, no significant improvements were seen in BMI of the intervention group (SMD −0.08, 95% CI −0.35 to −0.19, P = 0.554 ; I2 = 69.4%) compared to that of the control group. Conclusion. Tai Chi is an effective intervention to improve SBP and DBP in patients with essential hypertension.
