Data Sheet 1_Efficacy and safety of acupuncture for septic gastrointestinal dysfunction: a

Thirteen randomized controlled trials with 865 patients provide evidence on acupuncture for septic gastrointestinal dysfunction. The analysis, authored by Jian Xu and published in 2026, indicates acupuncture combined with standard treatment may reduce intra-abdominal pressure and acute gastrointestinal injury grade. It found no significant difference in 28-day mortality or adverse events between treatment groups.

Use Cases

• Train models to extract clinical outcome metrics like APACHE II scores from systematic review texts.
• Analyze treatment efficacy patterns for septic gastrointestinal dysfunction based on aggregated trial results.
• Benchmark meta-analysis methodologies using the reported statistical measures (SMD, MD, RR, OR).

Strengths

• Includes 13 randomized controlled trials, a specific number of high-quality study designs.
• Analyzes data from 865 patients, providing a concrete sample size for the meta-analysis.
• Uses standardized assessment tools (Risk of Bias Tool 2, GRADEpro GDT) for quality evaluation.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The authors note the 28-day mortality finding may be due to insufficient sample size.
