Attrition biasoccurs when participants who drop out of a studysystematicallydiffer from those who remain in the study. Attrition bias is especially problematic in randomized controlled trials for medical research because participants who do not like the experience or have unwanted side effects can drop...
Risk of bias for randomized controlled trials was rated as of some concern and for non-randomized controlled trials as low risk of bias (two studies) and some concerns (one study). Conclusions: POL is superior to other TIDs for improving VO2peak, particularly in shorter duration interventions ...
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are conducted when exploring causal association, but they face issues such as high cost, complexity, and human ethics [11]. Traditional observational studies cannot exclude confounding factors that interfere with the results. Therefore, Mendelian randomization (MR) be...

[15]exploring the effects of diet and nutrition on dementia, certain nutritional compounds and regimens were found to provide significant cognitive benefits to older adults in placebo-controlled trials. However, conclusive evidence is still lacking. More randomized controll...
Unfortunately, despite the high prevalence, patients in treatment for SUD are often excluded from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating PTSD treatments [10]. However, several studies have been conducted to examine the effectiveness of PE specifically in patients with co-occurring PTSD and ...
We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane databases for meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the association between IF and metabolic health outcomes. Subsequently, we performed an umbrella review and network meta-analysis (NMA) to evaluate the efficacy ...
Thus, structurally, the MTS assumption does not always refer to the issue of "selection." In Figure 6, there are no open paths between E and DT, which demonstrates that the MTS assumption is irrelevant in randomized controlled trials if adherence to treatment is perfect. Further, whe...
