Limitations
- 1 supporting study does not have a displayable topic-matched quantitative effect.
- Evidence uses heterogeneous comparison contexts: active_comparator, baseline_within_group, usual_care.
- 2 of 4 studies with duration data have follow-up of 12 weeks or less.
- 1 study contains conflicting p-value and significance fields; those significance claims are suppressed.
