Lancet study - update & help needed
Posted: Mon Jan 02, 2006 3:42 pm
Hi all,
The lancet has published some of the letters from homeopaths against the
controversial metaanalyses published recently. These came out in the
december 17th issue, and can be read from their website (with a free
registration). They have also published the author's response to the
letters, in which they have pointed out the 8 homoeopathic and 6 allopathic
trials which were the basis of the study's conclusions.
To quote
"We agree that the larger trials of higher methodological quality
(references 46, 55, 71, 80, 84, 94, 96, 97 in webappendix 1 and 23, 25, 45,
53, 66, 72 in webappendix 2) should have been identified, and are grateful
for the opportunity to rectify this oversight."
Can anyone identify these studies ? i cannot as i do not have a paid
subscription to the lancet, and apparently only those can access the web
appendices.
thanks in advance,
Arun
