主题:【原创】如何看待Cochrane Reivews-- 送 -- 虽远必诛
还是谈这篇Cochrane Reviews: Chinese medicinal herbs for the common cold
首先建议大家看:外链出处
对于一个系统回顾,比较重要的内容是:检索范围,对RCTs评估标准和最后的意见汇总。
先看看这篇文章的检索范围:Electronic searches
We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials
(CENTRAL) (TheCochrane Library 2008, issue 2) which contains
the Cochrane Acute Respiratory Infections Group’s Specialised
Register; MEDLINE (1966 to May 2008); EMBASE (1980 to
May 2008); AMED(1985 toMay 2008); the Chinese Biomedical
Database (CBMdisc) (1978 to May 2008); and China National
Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) (1994 to May 2008).
The MEDLINE search strategy is shown below. We combined
theMEDLINE search string with the highly sensitive search strategy
(Dickersin 1994). See Appendix 1 for the CENTRAL search
strategy. The search string was adapted for EMBASE, AMED, the
Chinese Biomedical Database and China National Knowledge Infrastructure

可谓一网打尽,不存在选择上的bias。
回顾作者一共有六个,远远高于最低要求的两个独立回顾者。
Six review authors (WT, ZX, ZJ, XLX, QY, LG) performed the
searches and retrieved articles.
有明确的对RCTs的评价标准,
最后检索的结果
We successfully contacted 365 trial authors by telephone.Of these
trials, 302 were excluded, either because the trial authors misunderstood
true random allocation or the trial reports were multiple
versions of same study (see the ’Characteristics of excluded studies’
table), of those, 67 were additional studies later excluded in this
updated version of review.
One hundred and nine are listed in the ’Studies awaiting classification’
section. One of these studies, for example, assessed an
intervention containing ’Yuxincao’, a drug which the State Food
and Drug Administration (SFDA) stopped production of, due to
unclear adverse events. Other trials are allocated to this section
as we could not locate the original trial authors to identify the
randomisation method.
Seventeen studies were identified as true RCTs and fulfilled our
inclusion criteria
因此这十七个RCTs是目前中药治疗感冒的最直接证据了。
然后就评价这十七个RCTs,简单明确。
待续。
当您看到430个试验,仅仅有17个入选,是不是把孩子同脏水一同泼掉了?
不是因为要回国的是RCTs, 因此如果不是RCTs就不能入选,因此在个人的体会,神迹,各种大师的报道,对不起,别拿出来。
看看被枪毙的一些试验您就知道了。
retrospective paper and a summary of the author’s clinical experience
用姓时间A,B,C是最标准的APA格式,当然不要指望棒槌知道什么是APA。
感慨一下,连APA格式都不知道,也出来评估医学文献,无语。没吃过猪肉,还没看见过猪跑?
这个文献被否定的原因是,声称是RCT但是实际上是作者个人的医学临床经验回顾。
看来普及基础知识太重要的,连什么是RCT都不知道,这个叫病案报道,case report。
were allocated by author
这个是因为患者没有被随机分组,是作者主观分组的,明显的bias。
method was according to the order the patients came to the hospital
这个是因为患者被方便分组,convenience sample,就是第一个看病是治疗组,第二个是治疗组,以此类推,这个不是随机分组。
allocation was not randomised
原因:非随机分组,但是声称是随机。
原因:作者拒绝电话访问!!!!!
这个可能您认为比较怨望,但是这是EBM的基本规则,没有被证明的就是不存在。
您可以说这个试验本身确实RCT,但是因为作者忙,脾气不好,没有给钱,等等,就明珠暗投了。
可惜,这些辩解没有用,即便是接受电话访问,回顾者还要看原始数据资料,不是,口说就可以的。
别做梦,别相信任何人。
I don’t know how to allocate the patients”. Thus, this study was considered a non-RCT
这个比较搞,连如何分组都不懂,还声称是RCT。
the randomisation method
无法提供具体分组细节,光声称是RCT,不被承认。
patients were allocated based on their birth date
按照患者生日分组,也是方便样本不是随机分组。
patients were allocated based on their bed number
患者床位号码分组,还是方便样本,不是随机分组。
for analysis[/QUOTE
包括23个喉支气管炎,在后期的分析中没有单独分析。这个试验的患者选择有问题,要测试的患者不是要回顾的人群。
[QUOTE]Dai 1997 Described as a ’randomised controlled trial’. We telephone interviewed the original author and the randomisation
was stated to be “not performed exactly according to the rule”
随机分组,但是执行的不严格。不是RCT
一稿多投,恶习。
was described as “randomly select patients as control”
随机选择患者做对照,但是不是全部患者。
同时使用中西药,无法判断是否中药有效。
method an inadequate method, “Chouqian”
抽签,不是自然随机分组。
这家伙一稿投了六次。
children were allocated according to their age.
年龄分组,不是随机分组。
以上仅仅是典型的例子,每一个都有很多的不同版本。
这个Cochrane Reviews是建立在回顾所有目前有效的文献基础上的,尽量的消灭一切的bias。
竟然有人说这回顾,充满的bias, 别给学统计的人丢脸,好不好?
不懂人家只相信愿意相信的“信者恒信”逻辑。
50分,不及格。
花上。
诊所怎么样,开张了吗?
实际上都是一样的活,就是现在的owner把诊所转让给我而已,但是最近这不是过洋节嘛,鬼子都去好力逮去了,要过了新年后,吃人肉和人血的律师才回来上班。
特慢。
当然,自己干,就有很多的责任和压力了,恐怕就没有很多的空闲了。
作为对重要的研究,大家一定想知道到底用过那些,是否您心目中的姜汤没有被选用。

哎呀!我去,竟然没有大名鼎鼎的生姜,为啥没有姜汤呢?
为啥?要不要搞一个投票?
只有真正的高手才用姜汤,这些搞试验的都是盲目按照西医标准的投降派,都是沽名钓誉,不是真正的高手。 你的明白?
