“…The characteristics of the 9 SRs included in our final analysis are summarized in Table 1. Five SRs 16,17,[21][22][23] were published in Chinese, and the other 4 15,[18][19][20] were published in English. The number of RCTs included in these SRs varied widely, ranging from 7 to 27, and the total number of participants ranged from 326 to 1298.…”

“…The treatment duration ranged from one week to one year. All SRs evaluated the methodological quality of the original research; 8 SRs [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] applied the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions, and the other 23 applied the Jadad scale.…”

“…[8][9][10] Proponents argue that acupuncture is effective at relieving symptoms and improving quality of life and activity endurance, and it is associated with fewer adverse effects than conventional approaches used to treat COPD. 11 In recent years, with the increasing number of clinical studies [12][13][14] on acupuncture treatment of COPD, a certain number of systematic reviews (SRs) [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] have been published to provide corresponding evidence supporting clinical decision-making. However, based on preliminary studies, the results of different systematic evaluations are not completely consistent, which are unable to effectively guide clinical practice.…”

Background Since consistent evidence on the effectiveness of acupuncture in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is not available, this overview aims to summarize and critically evaluate the methodological and evidence quality of systematic reviews (SRs) on this topic. Methods Eight electronic databases were searched to identify relevant SRs of the use of acupuncture in the treatment of COPD from inception to January 2021. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted the data, and cross-checked the data. The Assessing the Methodological Quality of Systematic Reviews 2 (AMSTAR 2) list was used to assess the methodological quality of SRs. The Grades of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system was used to assess the quality of evidence for the outcomes of interest. Results Nine SRs that conducted quantitative syntheses were included in this overview. The methodological quality of the SRs and the quality of evidence for the main outcome measures were generally unsatisfactory. Only 2 SRs were rated as low methodological quality by AMSTAR 2, and the remaining SRs were rated as critically low quality. The key limitations of the SRs were lack of a protocol and registration or a list of excluded studies. We did not find high-quality evidence to confirm the effectiveness of acupuncture for COPD, and the main reason was that the qualitative data synthesis relied on trials with small sample sizes and critically low quality. Conclusion Acupuncture appears to be an effective therapeutic method for COPD, but the credibility of the results is limited owing to the generally low methodological quality and evidence quality of the included SRs. Further rigorous and comprehensive studies are required to provide robust evidence and draw definitive conclusions.

Background: The quality of reporting of acupuncture interventions is critical to ensure the applicability and reproducibility of acupuncture clinical trials. In the past, different publications have evaluated the quality of reporting of acupuncture interventions for different clinical situations, such as knee osteoarthritis, neurological diseases or cancer. However, this has not been done for acupuncture trials for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Objective: To assess the quality of reporting of acupuncture interventions in trials for COPD. Methods: A total of 11 English and Chinese databases were screened up until May 2019 for randomised or quasi-randomised control trials of acupuncture for COPD. The STRICTA checklist was used to determine the quality of the reporting of acupuncture interventions. Results: A total of 28 trials were included in our review. Out of the 16 STRICTA checklist subitems analysed, only 3 were considered appropriately reported in more than 70% of the trials, while 7 were correctly reported in less than 40%. Conclusion: The adherence to STRICTA guidelines of acupuncture trials for COPD is suboptimal, and future efforts need to be addressed to improve the quality of reporting.
