Angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion gene polymorphic variant as a marker of coronary artery disease - A meta-analysis
(2008)Background: Many studies have investigated the association between the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion(I)/deletion (D) polymorphic variant and coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the evidence is ... -
Are Sample Sizes Clear and Justified in RCTs Published in Dental Journals?
(2014)Sample size calculations are advocated by the CONSORT group to justify sample sizes in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The aim of this study was primarily to evaluate the reporting of sample size calculations, to ... -
Assessing the Quality of Reporting of Observational Studies in Cancer
(2010)PURPOSE: The vast majority of epidemiological studies in cancer are observational. However, inadequate reporting of the published observational studies (OS) may restrict the generalizability and credibility of study results. ... -
Assessing the relative effectiveness and tolerability of treatments in small cell lung cancer: A network meta-analysis
(2013)Background: The combination of Cisplatin plus Etoposide (EP) is currently the standard treatment for small cell lung cancer (SCLC). However, a large number of alternative treatments (monotherapies and combinations) have ... -
Assessment of the Relative Effectiveness and Tolerability of Treatments of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Network Meta-analysis
(2014)Purpose: The relative effectiveness and tolerability of treatments for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is not well understood because few randomized, controlled trials (RCTs) have compared these treatments directly. The ... -
Developing the Evidence Base for Cancer Chemoprevention: Use of Meta-Analysis
(2011)Meta-analysis is a quantitative approach for systematically combining the results of previous studies in order to arrive at conclusions about the body of research. It answers a specific research question, includes an ... -
Infliximab and Methotrexate in the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Dosage Regimens
