This paper introduces the process of design and implementation on the clinical evidence database of acupuncture (ACU-CED), including establishing expert groups on the basis of demands to formulate top-design, project implementation plans and standard, comprehensively searching publications of clinical randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of acupuncture and moxibustion, conducting strictly data extraction and evaluation, and eventually achieve automatic utilization of clinical evidence. ACU-CED will become the first structural data platform with the function of searching-screening-result, analysis-data, and statistics-evidence extraction, which fills in gapes in database of clinical evidence sources, increases efficiency of evidence transformation, and reduces waste of resources. It will also achieve auto-completion of systematic review/meta-analysis as well as visualization of clinical evidence, so as to provide evidence for clinical decision, guidelines and disease spectrum of acupuncture therapy.
