Data Sheet 1_Efficacy of acupuncture for recurrent implantation failure: a systematic revi

A systematic review and meta-analysis of 14 randomized controlled trials involving 1,428 patients, published by Qin Huang in April 2026. It evaluates the impact of acupuncture on pregnancy outcomes, endometrial receptivity, and psychological status in patients with recurrent implantation failure undergoing embryo transfer. The evidence certainty ranges from very low to moderate.

Use Cases

• Evaluating the effect of acupuncture on clinical pregnancy rates based on relative risk data.
• Assessing changes in endometrial receptivity based on thickness and pulsatility/resistance index measurements.
• Analyzing the impact on psychological status based on Self-Rating Anxiety and Depression Scale scores.
• Informing clinical trial design based on identified methodological limitations and heterogeneity.

Strengths

• Includes 14 randomized controlled trials with a total of 1,428 patients.
• Reports specific effect sizes (relative risk, mean difference) and confidence intervals for multiple outcomes.
• Uses established quality assessment frameworks (RoB 2 and GRADE).
• Registered with PROSPERO (CRD420251237224).

Limitations

• The certainty of evidence is reported as ranging from very low to moderate due to methodological limitations and high heterogeneity.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
