Exploration of Acupoint Compatibility Patterns in Acupuncture Treatment for Infertility Based on Data Mining.
Review in International journal of women's health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to explore the compatibility rules of acupoint selection in acupuncture treatment for infertility using data mining techniques. Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs)on acupuncture treatment for infertility were retrieved from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, VIP Chinese Journal Service Platform, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library up to September 22, 2024. The frequency of acupoint use, meridian attribution, selection of specific points, and acupoint association rules in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome-related infertility, diminished ovarian reserve related infertility, and unexplained infertility were analyzed using R language. Cytoscape was employed to visualize acupoint associations and disease-acupoint co-occurrence networks. Results: A total of 220 prescriptions for infertility were included, covering 92 acupoints with an overall frequency of 3,653 uses. The top three frequently used acupoints were Conclusion: This study provides valuable insights for the clinical selection of acupoint combinations in the acupuncture treatment of infertility, offering directions for optimizing acupoint strategies in clinical practice.
