This article presents a correction to the original publication regarding the effects of traditional Chinese medicine on in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) of a specific type. The correction concerns an incorrect statement of funding sources in the original article. The correct funding institutions are the Joint TCM Science & Technology Projects of National Demonstration Zones for Comprehensive TCM Reform (no. GZY-KJS-SD-2023-039), the China Postdoctoral Science Foundation (no. 2024M761883), and the Taishan Scholars Program for Young Experts of Shandong Province (no. tsqn202312375). Three funding institutions were erroneously included in the original publication and have been removed. The study involved analysis of metabolomics, network pharmacology, and molecular docking in the context of traditional medicine efficacy. The article was published in September 2026 in Frontiers in Medicine.
