The statement simply says that if a hodge podge of acupuncture approaches are used then reliable statistical analysis without due consideration given in the data analysis section are difficult to do when preforming a meta-analysis of many studies. It is simply a statement of fact. All good research articles should have statements about their limitations The authors of the individual studies are well trained acupuncturists and physicians quite familiar with individualized (TCM AC) and uniform approaches to acupuncture for IBS who have no doubt given consideration to their experimental designs.
Are you training to be an acupuncturist or are just generally learning about it in your naturopathy course?
