A Bayesian network meta-analysis was performed by using the ADDIS software. The effect sizes included odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). A random effects model was used for the pooled analysis for all the outcome measures, including 1-year distant control rate, 1-year local...
Network meta-analysis (NMA) can evaluate the efficacy of multiple intervention measures through direct or indirect comparison and cumulative ranking probability. At present, there is no NMA of curcumin in the treatment of KOA. Our hypothesis is that curcumin, alone or in combination with other ...

This Bayesian network meta-analysis investigated the available randomized control trials (RCTs) to point out which acupuncture protocol is the most effective for chronic aspecific low back pain (LBP). Efficacy was measured in terms of pain (Visual Analogic Scale, VAS) and disability (Roland Morris...
This study constructed a network meta-analysis (NMA) to investigate the efficacy of CHIs (including the Reduning injection (RDN), Yanhuning injection (YHN), Xiyanping injection (XYP), and Tanreqing injection (TRQ)) combined with Western medicine (WM) and WM alone in CAP. Methods A literatu...
sports athletes. The risk of bias in these trials was assessed using the revised Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool for Randomized Trials. Subsequently, we employed Bayesian network meta-analysis through R software and Stata 15.0. During the analysis, we performed subgroup analysis based on the type of ...
A Bayesian network meta-analysis was performed to assess postoperative pain management, with subgroup analyses and meta-regression conducted to examine key factors influencing outcomes, such as the risk of bias, continuous catheter analgesia, and patient-controlled analgesia (PCA). Results The results ...
Network meta-analysis (NMA) is a widely used tool to compare multiple treatments by synthesizing different sources of evidence. Measures such as the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) and the P-score are increasingly used to quantify trea
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of various teaching methods in the standardized training of Chinese neurology clinicians to inform an optimal teaching model utilizing a Bayesian network meta-analysis (NMA) approach. Methods A comprehensive computer search was conducted to identify randomized ...
