@HomeopathicDana Untrue.They assigned a lower rating of confidence to treatments studied in fewer patientspic.twitter.com/7vOllRdexN
@HomeopathicDana The 150 was total number of participants that the treatment has ever been studied in, not just single trials.
@HomeopathicDana To achieve a decent statistical power in a systematic review 150 TOTAL patients is just not adequate.
.@GidMK This critique knocks the Australian report out of the water: https://www.hri-research.org/resources/homeopathy-the-debate/the-australian-report-on-homeopathy/australian-nhmrc-report-in-detail/ … I assume u agree it's garbage!
@HomeopathicDana Firstly, that article gets a number of facts wrong, for example the same 150 per trial number you have referred to 1)
@HomeopathicDana The objections are largely spurious; they misunderstand what a systematic review/meta-analysis is at least twice 2)
@HomeopathicDana And the studies that they have cited as unfairly dismissed are unanimously of astoundingly poor quality. 3)
@HomeopathicDana As an example, this 'meta-analysis' is neither systematic nor well conducted and thus not eligible http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12634583
