Journal ArticleDOI

An international randomised placebo-controlled trial of a four-component combination pill ("polypill") in people with raised cardiovascular risk.

TL;DR: This polypill achieved sizeable reductions in SBP and LDL-cholesterol but caused side effects in about 1 in 6 people, the halving in predicted cardiovascular risk is moderately lower than previous estimates and the side effect rate is moderately higher.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of fibrates in kidney disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: It is suggested that fibrates have a place in reducing cardiovascular risk in people with mild-to-moderate CKD and reduce albuminuria and reversibly increase serum creatinine but the effects on major kidney outcomes remain unknown.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rethinking the dose-response relationship between usage and outcome in an online intervention for depression: randomized controlled trial.

TL;DR: Only one objective measure of usage was independently associated with better outcome of a Web-based intervention of known effectiveness, and medium level users appeared to have little additional benefit compared to low users indicating that assumptions of a linear relationship between use and outcome may be too simplistic.
