English abstract:
      Objective To provide evidence-based references for probiotics treatment of depression, the efficacy of probiotics on depression is systematically evaluated in this paper.Methods Based on PubMed, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang database, VIP database and other systematic retrievals, the randomized controlled study of probiotics to suppress depression was conducted with two researchers working on literature selection and data extraction. Meta-analysis, sensitivity test and publication bias test were performed using Stata 16.0, and subgroup analysis was conducted based on the assessment tool, depression type and age grouping.Results A total of 17 RCTs (n=1 192) were included. The analysis of random effects models showed after using probiotics, the score changes in the scale of the experimental group was proved to be better than those of the control group, which was statically significant (SMD=-0.50, 95% CI: -0.80~-0.21, Z=3.31, P<0.01). The subgroup analysis by depression type indicates statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in the depression combined diseases group and the healthy group (depression combined diseases group SMD=-0.33, 95% CI: -0.63~0.04, Z=2.21, P=0.03; healthy group SMD=-0.67, 95% CI: -1.09~-0.24, Z=3.07, P<0.01). In the subgroup analysis grouped by age, the difference between the experimental group and the control group of the youth group was statistically significant (SMD=-0.50, 95% CI: -0.81~-0.19, Z=3.18, P<0.01).Conclusion Probiotics can alleviate depression to some extent, but the efficacy is affected by patients’ age and whether they have combined diseases or not.
