Reference EntryDOI
Placebo treatment versus no treatment
TL;DR: There was no evidence that placebo interventions in general have clinically important effects, and a possible moderate effect on subjective continuous outcomes, especially pain, could not be clearly distinguished from bias.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unsubstantiated claims of large effects of placebo on pain: serious errors in meta-analysis of placebo analgesia mechanism studies
Journal ArticleDOI
Informed choice requires information about both benefits and harms
TL;DR: A study found that women participating in mammography screening were content with the programme and the paternalistic invitations, but it is argued that this merely reflects that the information presented to the invited women is seriously biased in favour of participation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Cochrane HPV vaccine review was incomplete and ignored important evidence of bias.
TL;DR: The Cochrane authors’ conclusion, ‘that the risk of reporting bias may be small’, was inappropriate, and the Cochrane review identified 46 completed and eligible trials that should have been identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiplicity of data in trial reports and the reliability of meta-analyses: empirical study.
TL;DR: Multiplicity of data can affect the findings of systematic reviews and meta-analyses and should comply with prespecified protocols that clearly identify time points, intervention groups, and scales of interest.
