Core Tip	A 2012 clinical practice guideline recommended Shenling Baizhu Powder for the Pattern of Spleen and Stomach Deficiency chronic gastritis (CG). The 2020 clinical guideline did not recommended Shen-ling-bai-zhu san (SLBZS), possibly because of inadequate clinical evidence and pharmacological mechanisms. We designed our study to focus on evidence of efficacy and potential mechanisms. Our study showed that SLBZS might be useful in treating CG; however, its long-term effects and mechanisms of action are unclear. Due to the poor quality of the evidence, more samples and high-quality clinical studies should be tested.
