In the text of our protocol, we gave an incorrect affiliation to JianPing Liu. He is not, as we suggested, affiliated with the Chinese Cochrane Center, but is Director of the Centre for Evidence-Based Chinese Medicine, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. The last sentence of the "Search strategy for identification of studies" section should therefore read:
Chinese trials will be identified by a separate process: Jianping Liu of the Centre for Evidence-Based Chinese Medicine, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, will use that institution's resources to identify Chinese trials of acupuncture for chronic pain that involved full allocation concealment.
Erratum: minor error
