    Abstract

    Intestinal flora dysbiosis may play an important role in the occurrence and development of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), which may induce the inflammatory response and metabolic disturbance of patients with CFS. Acupuncture and moxibustion may achieve anti-fatigue effect by affecting the diversity and quantity of intestinal flora, improving intestinal barrier function, and regulating brain-gut peptides.

    Given that the abstract says the treatment 'may achieve and effect' that suggests to me it's just a hypothesis, and they haven't actually run a clinical trial.

    So, the standard biopsychosocial formula, then. All they need is to publish dozens of identical papers saying the same. Easy peasy. Zero effort required.
