The authors critique the misuse of standardized mean differences (SMD) in reporting blood pressure effects, arguing that mean differences would be more appropriate given the uniformity of outcome measurements across studies. Additionally, they point out a unit-of-analysis issue related to the duplication of control groups in studies with multiple treatment arms, which could inflate meta-analytic weights. The authors emphasize the importance of methodological rigor in meta-analyses to ensure robust and clinically meaningful results. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: commentary letter tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Unknown language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
