Osteoarthritis: Small studies overestimate the benefit of therapies for OA.

Axel Finckh1, Martin R Tramèr.   

Abstract

a meta-epidemiological study has revealed that the inclusion of small studies in meta-analyses of osteoarthritis interventions could lead to an overestimation of the benefit of these interventions. Does this mean meta-analyses should be restricted to trials with large sample sizes?
