As various kinds of clinical evidence emerges, reporting quality tools of all kinds of evidence have been developed. They improved the quality and transparency to some extent, but researchers still have a large degree of freedom to choose how and what to be reported, and usually they distorted the research results consciously or unconsciously, which gradually draws a lot of attention. The reporting of clinical evidence of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） is also in the face of challenges alike. This article reviewed all related researches abroad, and introduced the concept, present situation, identification and classification of these misleading reports （Spin）, hoping to provide some ideas and methods for the Spin research in the field of clinical evidence of TCM in the future.
