This study aims to identify acupoint selection patterns for treating chronic atrophic gastritis with acupuncture and explore the related molecular mechanisms.
Systematic retrieval of literature on acupuncture for CAG from multiple databases.
Database establishment and analysis of acupoint frequency, distribution, and clustering using SPSS.
Network construction and pathway enrichment analysis to identify therapeutic targets and mechanisms.
Identified high-frequency acupoints: Zusanli (ST36), Zhongwan (CV12), Weishu (BL21), Pishu (BL20), and Neiguan (PC6).
Core combinations included Pishu-Weishu and Zhongwan-Neiguan with confidence ≥90% and support ≥20%.
Core targets identified included TP53, EGFR, STAT3, with predicted pathways involving inflammation regulation and apoptosis.
