Beginning in the mid-1990s, a series of studies, mostly in Europe, suggested that compared with women taking second-generation contraceptives, those using third-generation pills suffered higher rates of venous thrombosis — blood clots in the deep veins of the legs, lungs and other parts of the body.
The findings suggested that, compared with his peers, a 210-pound man who runs a 10-kilometer race in 51 minutes (about an eight-minute-per-mile pace) is performing as well as a 150-pound man who runs the distance in a speedy 38 minutes (about a six-minute-per-mile pace).
He also suggested that compared to FRVR, another recently funded startup looking to build chat games, Knock Knock is less focused on "hypercasual" games and instead taking "a deeper, more thoughtful approach".
The pooled estimate of two included RCTs suggested that compared with sham TENS in migraine patients, real TENS yielded significantly decreased monthly painkiller intake (SMD: -0.78; 95% CI: -1.14 to − 0.42; P < 0.001), presented in Fig. 6.
The results of the regression also suggested that compared to women in the poorest wealth category, women in the richer and richest wealth categories utilize maternal health services more intensively.
Therefore, Li and Xia (2008) suggested that compared to SOEs, privately-owned firms trend to emphasis on short-term risk-free investment due to insufficient human and capital resources, weak marketing channels, and poor distribution networks.
All of the results suggested that compared with the free MMC, the hybrid PLA NPs/MMC-SPC showed a significantly enhanced therapeutic efficacy while reducing the side effect of chemotherapy drug.
The results suggested that, compared to diets containing higher levels of ruminally fermentable starch, diets providing higher concentration of ruminally fermentable fiber may enhance transfer of ruminal ammonia and microbial N into milk protein.
Combined estimates of data suggested that, compared to non-orphans, orphans are not more likely to experience physical abuse (combined OR = 0.96, 95% CI [0.79, 1.16]) or sexual abuse (combined OR = 1.25, 95% CI [0.88, 1.78]).
The outcome data was analyzed with a fixed-effect model, and the pooled estimate of the four included RCTs suggested that compared with placebo group in migraine patients, real TENS was found to significantly reduce the number of monthly headache days (SMD: -0.48; 95% CI: -0.73 to − 0.23; P < 0.001), with moderate heterogeneity among the studies (I2 = 40%) (Fig. 3).
Results suggested that compared to non-injurers, episodic self-injurers reported higher levels of neuroticism and openness, while repetitive self-injurers reported higher levels of neuroticism, openness, avoidance/emotion-focused coping, and virtual social support, and lower levels of self-esteem and cognitive reconstruction/problem-focused coping.
