Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the methodological quality and literature report quality of randomized controlled trials(RCTs)on acupuncture treatment for diminished ovarian reserve published both domestically and internationally;To provide reference for future related clinical research.Methods RCTs on acupuncture treatment for diminished ovarian reserve were retrieved from Cochrane Library,PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,CBM,CNKI,Wanfang Data and VIP from the establishment of the databases to 16th,March 2024.Literature was screened according to the inclusion criteria,and basic research features were extracted from literature.Cochrane Collaborative Network randomized controlled trial bias risk assessment tool RoB2 was used for methodological quality evaluation,and CONSORT statement and STRICTA checklist were used for literature report quality evaluation.Results Totally 19 RCTs were included.The evaluation results of RoB2 showed that 18 RCTs(94.74%)had a certain risk of bias,and 1 RCT(5.26%)had a high risk of bias.In the evaluation of the CONSORT statement,there were a total of 24 items with a research report rate of less than 50%,accounting for 64.86%of all items,and 14 items with a report rate of less than 10%,accounting for 37.84%of all items;in the evaluation of the STRICTA list,there were a total of 3 items with a research report rate of less than 50%,accounting for 17.65%of all items,and 2 items with a report rate of less than 10%,accounting for 11.76%of all items.Conclusion Currently,the overall number of RCTs for acupuncture treatment of diminished ovarian reserve is relatively small,the methodological quality of the study is generally low,and the risk of bias is high.The literature reporting rate of the CONSORT statement items is low.Researchers should further strengthen clinical trial design and methodological training,improve the level of clinical research,and strictly follow the CONSORT statement and STRICTA checklist for standardized reporting.
