Impact of active placebo controls on estimated drug effects in randomised trials: a systematic review of trials with both active placebo and standard placebo.

Formålet med denne kunnskapsoppsummeringen er å estimere forskjellen i medikamenteffekter når et eksperimentelt medikament sammenlignes med en aktiv placebo versus en standard placebokontrollintervensjon, og å utforske årsaker til heterogenitet. I sammenheng med en randomisert studie kan denne forskjellen i medikamenteffekter estimeres ved direkte å sammenligne effektforskjellen mellom aktiv placebo og standard placebointervensjon.
