The effect of functional electrical stimulation of the legs on cardiopulmonary function and quality of life in patients with chronic heart failure: A systematic review and meta-analysis
SAGE Open Medicine2024n=7321154 influential citations
<h4>Introduction</h4>Functional electrical stimulation is important for the rehabilitation of patients with chronic heart failure. This meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials compared the efficacy of functional electrical…
Efficacy of non-invasive brain stimulation combined with antidepressant medications for depression: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Syst Rev2024n=135Meta-Analysis67 influential citations
<h4>Background</h4>Antidepressants, noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS), and their combination are commonly used in routine clinical practice. Nevertheless, there is a continuous dispute regarding whether the effectiveness of NIBS in…
Finding: In this meta-analysis of 18 randomized controlled trials, combination treatment with non-invasive brain stimulation and antidepressants was significantly more effective than antidepressant monotherapy for improving depressive symptoms.
Factors influencing the efficacy of nutritional interventions on muscle mass in older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Nutr Rev2021n=225Meta-Analysis42 influential citations
Context Nutritional interventions stimulate muscle protein synthesis in older adults. To optimize muscle mass preservation and gains, several factors, including type, dose, frequency, timing, duration, and adherence have to be considered.…
The optimal dosage, route and timing of glucocorticoids administration for improving knee function, pain and inflammation in primary total knee arthroplasty: A systematic review and network meta-analysis of 34 randomized trials.
Int J Surg2020Meta-Analysis17 influential citations
<h4>Purpose</h4>Glucocorticoids are a mainstay to control postoperative pain, inflammation, nausea and vomiting (PONV) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Understanding the optimal dose and route of glucocorticoids administration in TKA is…

The effects of oral nutritional supplements in patients with maintenance dialysis therapy: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials
PLoS ONE2018n=5894 influential citations
<h4>Background/objective</h4>This systematic review aims to determine the potential effects of oral nutritional supplements (ONS) in patients receiving maintenance dialysis therapy (MDT).<h4>Methods</h4>Electronic databases were searched…
The effects of chronic and acute physical activity on working memory performance in healthy participants: a systematic review with meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Systematic Reviews20173 influential citations
<h4>Background</h4>Understanding how physical activity (PA) influences cognitive function in populations with cognitive impairments, such as dementia, is an increasingly studied topic yielding numerous published systematic reviews. In…
Clinical Effectiveness of Protein and Amino Acid Supplementation on Building Muscle Mass in Elderly People: A Meta-Analysis
PLoS ONE20143 influential citations
<h4>Objective</h4>A major reason for the loss of mobility in elderly people is the gradual loss of lean body mass known as sarcopenia. Sarcopenia is associated with a lower quality of life and higher healthcare costs. The benefit of…
Role of preoperative intravenous iron therapy to correct anemia before major surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Systematic Reviews2021n=1,0393 influential citations
Background Preoperative anemia is a common comorbidity that often necessitates allogeneic blood transfusion (ABT). As there is a risk associated with blood transfusions, preoperative intravenous iron (IV) has been proposed to increase the…
Efficacy and safety of duloxetine in painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Systematic Reviews20233 influential citations
Background Painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (PDPN) is a key concern in clinical practice. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we compared duloxetine and placebo treatments in terms of their efficacy and safety in patients…
