To examine if the existing evidence points towards a changing benefit of zinc supplementation, we conducted cumulative meta-analyses in which each subsequently published study was added to meta-analysis and the procedure of DerSimonian and Laird [ 48] method repeated iteratively.
One report was a pilot study for which we obtained data from the subsequently published study (Klepeis et al. 2007).
We review a collection of subsequently published studies that provided population-based incidence rates of norovirus disease in the United States.
We then reviewed the papers to identify the most recent, high quality systematic reviews and subsequently published studies; we included a total of five SRs, 20 RCTs and one NRCT in this final review.
An update of the meta-analysis for the association of low FCGR3B CN (< 2) with RA, originally reported by McKinney and colleagues [ 17], was also performed, which included two subsequently published studies [ 15, 18] in addition to the current study.
However, in a subsequently published association study using data from 419 American AIS patients and their families, Sharma S et al. [ 1] did not find the association between the IL-17RC gene polymorphism and the susceptibility to AIS.
Four of the nine RCTs evaluated patient preference as a secondary outcome measure, using patient surveys [ 32, 37- 39] while ten of the twenty-two patinnts in a fourth study who had been randomized to handheld computers but who had previously used paper diaries took part in a subsequently published qualitative study [ 41].
In the case of pneumonia the similarity of studies to those identified in a subsequently published Cochrane review [ 17] are reassuring but for other topics this remains a threat to our findings.
This article provides a citation replacement for previously published ampkα alleles, transgenes and neuronal phenotypes, which remain accurate; however, they were used in a previously published study that has subsequently been retracted (Mirouse et al., 2013).
In contrast, a recently published study has shown that a C-reactive protein decline could be more rapidly achieved if empirical antibiotic therapy was effective against the microorganism that was subsequently identified as responsible for the VAP episode [ 25].
