Moy 2011.

Methods	Randomized controlled trial of fertility patients in US
Participants	160 patients undergoing IVF ± ICSI were randomised to either true acupuncture (n = 87) or sham acupuncture (n = 74) The average age (± SD) in the true acupuncture group was 33.3 (± 0.307) years compared to 33.16 (± 0.334) years in the sham acupuncture group. There was no statistically significant difference in BMI or infertility diagnosis between the two groups, with the leading causes of infertility being male factor, ovarian dysfunction and unexplained.
Interventions	True (needle) acupuncture performed by hospital employed licensed acupuncturists versus sham placebo acupuncture. Both interventions performed for 25 minutes before and after embryo transfer
Outcomes	Clinical pregnancy rate and clinical symptoms during embryo transfer
Assisted conception protocols	Protocol breakdown not provided
Notes
Risk of bias
Bias	Authors' judgement	Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias)	Low risk	patients were randomized using a ‘random number generator’
Allocation concealment (selection bias)	Low risk	Use of 'sealed, sequentially numbered, opaque envelopes’.
Blinding (performance bias and detection bias) All outcomes	Low risk	Control group was allocated to Sham acupuncture. The physicians and patients were blinded to the randomization until the conclusion of the study.
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes	Low risk	160 participants were randomized; 1 lost to follow up
Selective reporting (reporting bias)	Unclear risk	LBR outcome data not reported.
Other bias	Low risk	None
