国内针刺治疗缺血性卒中Meta分析方法学和报告质量评价

Quality of methodology and reporting of Meta-analyses on acupuncture treating ischemic stroke in China

目的:评价国内针刺治疗缺血性卒中Meta分析方法学和报告质量。方法:计算机检索从建库到2016年底中国生物医学文献数据库(CBM)、中文科技期刊全文数据库(VIP)、中国期刊全文数据库(CNKI)和万方数据在线知识服务平台,查找国内针刺治疗缺血性卒中的所有系统评价文献。采用评价系统评价的测评工具(A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews,AMSTAR)、系统评价/Meta分析优先报告条目(Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses,PRISMA)量表对纳入文献的方法学与报告质量分条目逐个进行评价。结果:初检得出相关文献402篇,最终纳入7篇文献(中文6篇,英文1篇)。纳入文献的方法学质量存在的主要问题:检索策略不全面、未重视发表偏倚的识别、对异质性的认识和处理不够深入等;报告质量的主要问题:检索策略的报告不规范、相关研究特征及偏倚风险报道不全、未报告证据强度级别等。结论:目前国内针刺治疗缺血性卒中Meta分析在方法学、报告质量方面存在不同程度问题,仍需要进一步提高及不断更新。

Objective To evaluate the quality of methodology and reporting of Meta-analyses on acupuncture treating ischemic stroke in China. Methods The domestic literature of systematic reviews（SRs） on acupuncture treating ischemic stroke was retrieved from CBM, VIP, CNKI and WANFANG databases. The quality of methodology and reporting was measured by A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews（AMSTAR） and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses（PRISMA）. Results Seven studies involving 6 papers in Chinese and 1 paper in English were chosen from 402 papers. The deficiencies of methodology mainly contained incomplete retrieval strategy, less attention to the publication bias and the heterogeneity, etc. The shortages of reporting was on retrieval strategy reporting, the studies features and the risk of bias reporting and evidence strength level reporting, etc. Conclusion At present the quality of methodology and reporting of SRs on acupuncture treating ischemic stroke in China has flaws, which needs improvement.
