(a). Forest plot comparing paw withdrawal threshold between acupuncture and model. (b). Forest plot comparing paw withdrawal threshold between acupuncture and medicine. (c). Forest plot comparing paw withdrawal threshold between single medicine and medicine combined with acupuncture. The black diamond represents the point estimate and 95% confidence interval. The green block at the point estimate of intervention effect with a horizontal line extending either side of the block represents a study. The area of the block indicates the weight assigned to that study in the meta-analysis while the horizontal black line depicts the 95% confidence interval. Statistical method is inverse variance. Random effects model was employed as analysis model. The effect measure was standard mean difference.
