Suboptimal reporting of randomized controlled trials on non-pharmacological therapies in Chinese medicine
With the successive release of the CONSORT extensions for acupuncture,moxibustion,cupping,and Tuina/massage,this review aims to assess the reporting characteristics and quality of randomized controlled trials(RCTs)based on these specific guidelines.A comprehensive review was conducted by searching multiple databases,including Embase,Ovid MEDLINE(R),All EBM Reviews,AMED,CNKI,VIP Chinese Medical Journal Database,and Wanfang Data,for publications from January 1 to December 31,2022.Two reviewers independently evaluated the eligibility of the records,extracted predetermined information,and assessed the reporting based on the STRICT A,STRICTOM,STRICTOC,and STRICTOTM checklists.Among the included 387 studies(acupuncture,213;Tuina/massage,85;moxibustion,73;cupping,16),the overall reporting compliance averaged 56.0%,with acupuncture leading at 62.6%,followed by cupping(60.2%),moxibustion(53.1%),and Tuina/massage(47.9%).About half of the evaluated items showed poor reporting(compliance rate<65%).Notably,international journals demonstrated significantly higher reporting quality than Chinese journals(P<0.05).Although acupuncture trials had relatively higher compliance rates,deficiencies persist in reporting non-pharmacological therapies of Chinese medicine,particularly in areas like treatment environment details and provider background information.
