      Do we have more recent numbers on % of acupuncture trials coming out of China (vs. non-TCM countries, if you will) that are positive? This is from 1998: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9551280  . Paging @gorskon & @AlanLevinovitz. Thanks!

      My sister is treating her dog's arthritis with acupuncture. Obvs the meridian lines stuff doesn't make sense but I find it quite difficult to find articles that say clearly it doesn't work.

      No one study can show that acupuncture doesn't work, but here are good summaries of the evidence: https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/reference/acupuncture/ … & http://skepdic.com/acupuncture.html …

      Thanks. Yes it was Cochrane that was ambiguous, I think.

      Cochrane is "biased" toward asking for more studies. I don't think they look at plausibility. They will say, "90% of the studies didn't meet criteria. The rest were of dubious quality. More studies are needed."

          Yeah, I've noticed that. It's quite frustrating. I first started looking for references because I was donating to a small rescue which was wasting a load of money on acupuncture. Money that could have helped home dogs.
