本研究的目的是再现和评估Salari等人在文章“肥胖症治疗的最佳药物补充：系统回顾和网络荟萃分析”中进行的网络荟萃分析的可靠性。近年来，采用网络荟萃分析来评估临床实践中常用的治疗方法的相对疗效已经变得越来越普遍。为了重复Salari等人的研究，我们直接从原始试验中提取数据，并使用Cohen ' s D来确定每种治疗的效果大小。我们重新分析了这些数据，因为我们发现我们检索到的数据与Salari等人给出的数据之间存在显著差异。我们提出了每种疗法的新的效应大小估计，并得出结论，先前的发现有些错误。我们的研究结果强调了确保网络荟萃分析的准确性以确定现有证据的质量和强度的重要性。
The goal of this study was to reproduce and evaluate the reliability of the network meta-analysis performed in the article “The best drug supplement for obesity treatment: A systematic review and network meta-analysis” by Salari et al. In recent years, it has become more common to employ network meta-analysis to assess the relative efficacy of treatments often used in clinical practice. To duplicate Salari et al.‘s research, we pulled data directly from the original trials and used Cohen’s D to determine the effect size for each treatment. We reanalyzed the data since we discovered significant differences between the data we retrieved and the data given by Salari et al. We present new effect size estimates for each therapy and conclude that the prior findings were somewhat erroneous. Our findings highlight the importance of ensuring the accuracy of network meta-analyses to determine the quality and strength of existing evidence.
