The size of squares for Mantel–Haenszel (M‐H) risk ratio reflects the weight of trial in pooled analyses. Horizontal bars represent 95% confidence intervals. Results of a mixed effect analysis are shown. Pooled effect size and subgroup analyses are based on a fixed effects model using Comprehensive Meta‐analysis version 2.2.064.

A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials Comparing the Safety of Dapagliflozin in Type 1 Diabetes Patients
Background and Purpose: The dapagliflozin’s safety profile in insulin-treated adult type-1 diabetes mellites (T1DM) patients remains poorly explored. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis compared the risk of all-cause side effects, study discontinuation of participants due to side effects, urinary tract infection (UTI), diabetic ketoacidosis, and hypoglycemia between dapagliflozi...
متن کاملBlindness in Randomized Controlled Trials
In combination with randomization, blinding or masking is an important factor in randomized controlled trials (RCTs), particularly in trials that assess therapeutic effects. Here an attempt is made to explain blindness and why it is important. In clinical trials, blinding is defined as the condition imposed on a study in which study participants, health care providers and assessors collecting o...
متن کاملEfficacy and safety of inhaler steroids in COPD patients: Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized placebo-controlled trials
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major health dilemma and cause of morbidity and mortality in either industrialized or developing countries and inhaled corticosteroids are widely used worldwide in these patients. In this systematic review, we aimed to analyze the effectiveness of these gents compared to placebo. Methods: Pubmed and Google Scholar literature search ...
متن کاملWarming of intravenous and irrigation fluids for preventing inadvertent perioperative hypothermia.
BACKGROUND Inadvertent perioperative hypothermia (a drop in core temperature to below 36°C) occurs because of interference with normal temperature regulation by anaesthetic drugs, exposure of skin for prolonged periods and receipt of large volumes of intravenous and irrigation fluids. If the temperature of these fluids is below core body temperature, they can cause significant heat loss. Warmin...

Background & Objectives: Randomized controlled trials are the most reliable type of study to be able to compare different interventions in scientific research. The introduction of bias into the design and conduct of randomized controlled trials can seriously affect the accuracy of the results and led to the results be invalid. The aim of this study was to assess the bias in randomized controlle...
