Gemcitabine-based chemotherapy for advanced biliary tract carcinomas
TL;DR: From one trial of 96 participants, very low-certainty evidence is found that gemcitabine can lower the risk of mortality at one year when used with cisplatin versus S-1 plus cis Platin, and the evidence as very low quality is rated.

Retropubic or transobturator mid-urethral slings for intrinsic sphincter deficiency-related stress urinary incontinence in women: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Abigail Ford,J. Ogah +1 more
TL;DR: Mid-urethral slings are effective in treating women with intrinsic sphincter deficiency-associated stress urinary incontinence, and the retropubic route resulted in higher subjective cure rates compared with transobturator routes.

Influenza vaccination in HIV-infected individuals: systematic review and assessment of quality of evidence related to vaccine efficacy, effectiveness and safety.
TL;DR: It is indicated that TIV is effective in preventing influenza infection in HIV-infected adults but not in young children, and only limited evidence exists for other outcomes, indicating a need for further studies.
