My initial reaction to cupping was negative. But sounds like the data on this is neutral?
I disagree. The null hypothesis is always no benefit until on has been shown, otherwise your reasoning is on shaky grounds.

At this stage all we can say is that there isn't sufficient evidence to distinguish cupping from a placebo.

yes, I agree with that. I just literally interpret that as neutral rather than disconfirming because if it DID work how to know?

I agree in principle. But method has already been shown to have a strong(ish) effect, even if placebo, so not as arbitrary as a null.

Not really, so far the trials aren't particularly rigorous and even then many have mixed results.
