Title: Efficacy and safety of tanshinone IIA in combination with mesalazine in the treatment of
ulcerative colitis: a Systematic review and meta-analysis
Version: 1 Date: 04 Sep 2024
Reviewer:  Patroklos Katafygiotis
Reviewer's report:
The combination of treatments that have been tested by the Chinese and Western medical
communities are of particular interest.
I would like to point out some points that need improvement:
1. In the sentence "Tanshinone IIA injection is the kind of TCM that have the effect at reducing
the manufacture of the inflammatory cells and can downward the advancement of inflammation
and improve the immunity capability of body" the word "manufacture" needs to be changed.
2. Paragraph 2.5 needs several corrections to be understood.
3. I think that a paragraph is needed in the “Discussion” in which a more extensive description
of the drug "tanshinone IIA" is given and the reason why the other forms of tanshinone
( dihydrotanshinone, tanshinone I) could not be used in the treatment of UC.
