Good to know you don't base your assessment of homeopathy on evidence. I imagine that's how most homeopaths keep practicing

Also, I'm interested to know what methodology was used in that meta-analysis that you are citing, because I re-ran the code in Stata 15 using the metan command with their exact odds ratios and CIs and it was entirely non-significantpic.twitter.com/V5FCEAHGVz

I'd advise discussing that with mathie himself.

It's something that should really be reported in the study itself. Given the general quality of this MA, it's very odd that they didn't do so, unless I'm wrong and there's a report buried in the supplementary materials somewhere

Here we go, this is much more similar. Re-ran the model exponentiating differently. Looks like their basic analysis probably wasn't an error, although in the process I've found at least 2 minor numerical errors in the paper so it's a very mixed bagpic.twitter.com/HaxipIKC8F

Basically, my initial meta analysis command was running incorrectly. When I did it right, it looked much more like theirs
