Objective
A Bayesian network meta-analysis study was thus performed for comparing the relative efficacy and tolerability of different treatment alternatives.
Conclusions
Antiarrhythmic agents combined with traditional Chinese formulas had higher efficacy and lower toxicity than other treatment alternatives. This study might provide reference to help find the better treatment options for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF).
Critical Appraisal
Published research can offer valuable insights, but a paper’s conclusions may go beyond what its results support. Critical appraisal examines the methods, findings and limitations to clarify what can reasonably be concluded—and what remains uncertain.
