Abstract

The appropriateness of controls is often neglected in systematic reviews of complementary therapies. In their systematic review and meta-analysis of static magnets for reducing pain, Max Pittler and colleagues correctly used the appropriateness of a trial's control as a criterion for including the trial in their analysis.1
