Evaluating the Characteristics, Reporting and Methodological Quality of Systematic Reviews of Acupuncture for Low Back Pain by Using the Veritas Plot.

More than half of the indexes in the literature on SRs showed that when p > 0.10, 0% ≤ I 2 < 50%, the homogeneity indicates no heterogeneity, and the score is 3 points; 0.10 ≥ p ≥ 0.05, 50% ≤ I 2 ≤ 75% is regarded as slightly significant heterogeneity with a score of 2 points, and 0.05 > p , I 2 > 75% is considered significant heterogeneity with a score 1 point. 24 If the publication bias is ignored, the risk of publication bias would be high. 25 The scoring system was as> follows: in each project, the worst study gets a minimum score of 1 point, the second-to-last study gets 2 points, and so on.
