Data extraction and data analysis. (A): Data extraction procedures. The frequencies of the co-occurrences of the 49 acupoints and 30 diseases were extracted to explore the associations between diseases and acupoints. (B): Data analysis procedures. For forward inference, acupoints prescribed for each disease were quantified. For reverse inference, diseases for each acupoint were quantified. Probability values were Z-transformed to assess statistical significance for both forward and reverse inference (Z > 1.96). Bayes factor correction was applied to reverse inference to adjust for the odds of the prior probability of the disease. BF: Bayes factor
