Therefore, we constructed this study reveal basic characteristics RCTs, explore relationship between concealment, blinding RROs. We hope our...

Data extraction is a crucial juncture in meta-analysis, establishing underpinnings for outcomes deductions drawn from systematic reviews (SRs). However, frequency data errors quite significant. can lead to biased study results, affect credibility results even mislead clinical practice. The quantity acupuncture randomised controlled...
