Résumé : | Background and purpose: Network meta-analyses (NMAs) comparing the effectiveness of multiple acupuncture have been published but the key concepts underlying NMAs have not been properly reported. This critical evaluation aims to assess the completeness of reporting for NMAs of acupuncture to enhance the validity of findings. Materials and methods Five databases were searched. The characteristics and reporting quality based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses Extension Statement for reporting of NMA (PRISMA-NMA) were evaluated. NMAs were categorized into two groups according to the publication date, reporting guideline, and intervention. The group differences and correlation coefficients were calculated. Results Forty-two NMAs of acupuncture were evaluated. The reporting quality for new items in the key concepts of NMAs was low (median 70.0 % (interquartile range 60.0?80.0)). While the issue of consistency was well reported, the assumption of transitivity and network geometry showed poor reporting. Seventeen studies that followed the PRISMA-NMA guideline showed a higher reporting rate for essential concepts of NMA. The recency of publication did not guarantee clear reporting. Conclusion The reporting quality of NMAs of acupuncture was low. The researchers should follow the guidelines on the reporting of NMAs. |
