The Editors-in-Chief have retracted this article [1] because, after publication, concerns were raised regarding the study design and statistical analysis. Post-publication review has confirmed firstly that within-group changes were highlighted rather than between-group differences as appropriate for a randomized trial, and secondly that there are baseline differences between the groups that exist despite randomization for which analyses were not controlled. The data reported in this article are therefore unreliable. Ching-Hsiu Hsieh and Pei-Ying Chuang agree with this retraction. Chi-Chuan Tseng and Ju-Yu Shen have not responded to any correspondence from the publisher about this retraction.

撤回注意：随机对照试验测试体重减轻和艾灸腹部肥胖的结果。

总编辑撤回了本文[1]，因为在发表后，人们对研究设计和统计分析提出了担忧。发布后的评论首先确认，突出显示了组内变化，而不是适合于随机试验的组间差异；其次，尽管不进行随机对照分析，但存在组间基线差异。因此，本文中报告的数据不可靠。谢清秀和庄培英都同意这一观点。曾志全和沉菊雨没有回应出版商有关此撤消的任何信函。
