Medical articles are periodically retracted by authors or journals for various reasons, ranging from duplicate publication, which does not affect the quality of the information in the article, to serious misconduct such as scientific fraud. Analysis of these retractions can help readers and journals understand critical responsibilities involved in project development and publication. Because studies funded by the National Institutes of Health are presumed to be of high quality, and because NIH grant funding is highly competitive, this study examined rates of, and reasons for, retractions in published studies supported by NIH funding. The PubMed database was searched with “NIH” listed in the grants and funding fields between 2019 and 2023.This search returned 607,561 results; 137 of these articles were retracted. The most frequent explanation for retraction was data integrity and image/figure discrepancy. The authors of the articles identified most of the errors. Articles published by individuals with presumably strong research credentials are retracted periodically. This situation indicates that authors, journals, reviewers, and readers need to evaluate published material carefully and critically.

Combining standardised patients (SP) with case-based learning (CBL) enriches the learning experience by immersing learners in diverse clinical scenarios. This meta-analysis study aims to assess the intervention effects of this teaching approach on Chinese medical students' and resident physicians' teaching satisfaction, theoretical knowledge achievements and clinical practice performance. A systematic review and meta-analysis through Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 statement. PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Education Resources Information Center, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database and the VIP Database from their inception up to 30 April 2025. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA : Included studies were randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing SP+CBL (experimental group) with lecture-based learning (LBL) (control group) among Chinese medical students and resident physicians, with outcomes including teaching satisfaction, theoretical knowledge scores and clinical practice performance. Non-English/non-Chinese studies, non-RCTs, duplicate publications, studies with incomplete data or irrelevant topics were excluded. Two researchers (JS/XC) independently screened records. Disagreements were resolved by a third reviewer (ZZ). Study quality was assessed using the Cochrane Risk-of-Bias 2.0 tool (ROB 2.0). Meta-analysis used Stata V.17.0. A random effects (RE) model was prespecified due to anticipated heterogeneity, final model selection RE or fixed effects was based on I2 statistics. Odds ratios (ORs) and mean differences (MDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Evidence profiles were generated using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) approach. Publication bias was assessed using funnel plots and Egger's test. Subgroup analyses compared theoretical/clinical outcomes between medical students and resident physicians to explore heterogeneity sources. A meta-analysis of 31 RCTs (n=2674), SP+CBL pedagogy outperformed traditional methods in three domains. Teaching satisfaction showed substantial improvement (OR 7.19, 95% CI 3.80 to 13.60, p<0.001; moderate GRADE evidence). Theoretical knowledge achievements increased significantly (MD 5.91, 95% CI 4.63 to 7.18, p<0.001; low GRADE evidence due to inconsistency). Clinical practice performance also improved significantly (MD=7.62, 95% CI 6.16 to 9.08, p<0.001; low GRADE evidence from inconsistency). All findings remained robust in sensitivity analyses. Further subgroup analyses revealed that the improvement in theoretical knowledge scores was more pronounced among medical students, while the enhancement in clinical performance was more significant among resident physicians. Despite some high outcomes heterogeneity stemming from unavoidable methodological constraints in education, our meta-analysis and systematic review of eligible literature demonstrate that integrating SP and CBL facilitates students and resident physicians in acquiring theoretical knowledge and practical skills. It also boosts teaching satisfaction and positively impacts Chinese clinical education. INPLASY202560118.

Background/aimsRecently, modified monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) (proposed mono plus IOLs) have emerged claiming to provide monofocal quality distance vision while enhancing intermediate distance visual performance. The purpose of this study was to conduct a literature review and compare the range of vision following cataract surgery with the implantation of standard monofocal, claimed monofocal plus and extended depth of focus (EDoF) IOLs.MethodsLiterature searches and a meta-analysis were conducted on Embase, PubMed, IOLEvidence App and the Food and Drug Administration premarket approval database. Mean defocus curves were calculated with a random effect model and study quality was assessed.ResultsAfter eliminating duplicate publications, 36 studies were included in the data extraction process. Standard monofocal IOLs were implanted in 549 eyes, 360 eyes with claimed mono plus IOLs and 1898 eyes with EDoF IOLs. At far viewing acuity, the performance of all three lens categories appeared comparable: all p>0.05. However, at the intermediate distance of 66 cm (−1.5D), and at a near distance of 40 cm (−2.50D), monofocal and mono plus defocus curve acuities exhibited comparable performance: p=0.22 and 0.77 respectively, while EDoF lenses demonstrated better acuity (all p<0.05).ConclusionsThere is a lack of standardisation of defocus curve measurements among published papers included in this meta-analysis. Despite some slight inconsistencies in measurements, the range of vision of standard monofocal IOLs and mono plus IOLs as measured by the defocus curve appears to be similar. The EDoF IOLs in this meta-analysis indicate a potentially better range of vision compared with mono plus and monofocal IOLs.SynopsisThis meta-analysis seems to indicate that EDoF IOLs may have a better range of vision as measured by defocus curves compared with mono plus and monofocal IOLs.

ObjectiveDrug-coated balloons have emerged as a pivotal alternative to drug-eluting stents in the interventional management of coronary artery disease, particularly showing clinical advantages in the treatment of in-stent restenosis and small-vessel disease. This study provides a systematic bibliometric analysis of publication trends, research hotspots, and future directions in DCB-related CAD research from 2004 to June 2025.MethodsA total of 1,092 publications indexed in the Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed databases were analyzed using CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and bibliometrix. Inclusion criteria were English-language papers, while case reports, conference proceedings, news articles, and duplicate publications were excluded. The analysis focused on publication trends, country/institutional contributions, author collaboration networks, journal analysis, co-citation literature, and keyword evolution.ResultsThree distinct developmental phases of DCB research were identified: (1) device optimization (2004–2010), (2) clinical validation (2010–2017), and (3) application to complex lesions (2018–present). China led in publication volume (n = 180), while Germany and Italy demonstrated the highest research impact. Leading research institutions included Capital Medical University and Friedrich Schiller University of Jena. High-impact journals such as JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions and EuroIntervention served as key publication venues, with a focus on clinical outcomes and intravascular imaging. Keyword analysis revealed a growing emphasis on intravascular imaging modalities and emerging drug-coating technologies in recent research.ConclusionDCB are now established as a standard of care for ISR (Class IA recommendation), with accumulating evidence supporting their efficacy and safety in small-vessel coronary disease. However, their application in complex lesions requires further validation through multicenter randomized controlled trials. Future research should focus on optimizing drug coating technologies, refining imaging-guided strategies, exploring new anti-proliferative drugs, and establishing more precise eligibility criteria for treatment.

Existing evidence on the effectiveness of robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA) via the direct anterior approach compared to conventional THA is still scarce within evidence-based medicine. This meta-analysis seeks to bridge this gap by consolidating the available data. In this meta-analysis, we conducted searches across PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, CQVIP, and CBM databases, covering records from their inception until January 2024. The included studies reported on the differences in clinical outcomes between robotic-assisted THA via the direct anterior approach and conventional THA. We excluded duplicate publications, studies lacking full text, incomplete data, animal experiments, literature reviews, and systematic studies from the analysis. All data were analyzed using STATA 15.1 statistical software. This meta-analysis included 5 cohort studies with a total of 634 patients, with sample sizes ranging from 48 to 208. Of these, 290 patients were in the robotic-assisted group, while 344 were in the conventional group. The combined findings indicated a notable increase in acetabular inclination in robot-assisted THA when compared to that in conventional THA (standardized mean difference [SMD] = 0.75, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.02-1.47, P = .043). Moreover, robot-assisted THA demonstrated a significantly lower acetabular anteversion compared to that in the conventional THA (SMD = -0.34, 95% CI: -0.67 to -0.02, P = .039). Robot-assisted THA displayed a significantly diminished limb-length discrepancy in contrast to that in conventional THA (SMD = -0.24, 95% CI: -0.44 to -0.05, P = .015). In comparison to conventional THA, robotic-assisted THA through the direct anterior approach results in increased acetabular inclination, reduced acetabular anteversion, and improved limb-length consistency. The Harris Hip Score, however, did not significantly differ between the 2 approaches.

The increasing participation in sports, driven by the popularity of physical activity and advancements in sports science, has led to a rise in sports injuries. Traditional treatments for sports injuries typically involve physical therapy and pharmacological interventions. However, drug therapy often suffers from low bioavailability, and analgesic and anti-inflammatory medications may also cause side effects such as gastrointestinal irritation and cardiovascular risks. To amplify the range of therapeutic options in the domain of sports injuries, microneedles (MNs) have emerged as a promising alternative. A comprehensive review of English literature from the past two decades and more was performed across multiple databases, including PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science. The search utilized the keywords 'microneedle,' 'sports injury,' 'drug delivery,' etc. Original research articles, clinical studies, and reviews pertinent to the subject were included, while irrelevant and duplicate publications were excluded from the analysis. The diverse types and materials of MNs make them promising tools for treating sports injuries. These applications facilitate not only the targeted delivery of pharmaceuticals and biological materials but also enable continuous medical supervision through the assessment of subcutaneous metabolites. The application of MNs in the management of sports injuries holds significant promise for therapeutic interventions and medical monitoring, offering valuable insights for future innovation in sports science applications.

Cervical cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. Early detection and management are essential. In this case, you can use screening methods such as pap smear, visual acetic acid inspection, and HPV DNA test. Healthcare professionals recommend the Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) test for finding precancerous lesions. This is especially useful in resource-limited settings. This scoping review explored methods to increase cervical cancer screening for women. It focused on the use of the VIA test. We did a systematic search in PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, and ProQuest. We used these keywords: (uptake OR participation) AND ("visual inspection acetic acid" OR VIA) AND ("cervical cancer" OR "uterine cervical neoplasm"). We used the EndNote app to manage data. First, we screened titles and abstracts. Then, we identified potential articles and checked the full text. We looked for non-relevant outcomes, insufficient data, and duplicate publications. We followed the Prisma framework throughout the process. Two reviewers selected and extracted the data. A total of 39 studies were found to be assessing methods to increase VIA. Research reveals 6 ways to enhance cervical cancer screening using the VIA method worldwide. The six emerging themes for these intervention types include: health education and counselling (n=53%), cancer screening programs (n=12%), technology-driven interventions (n=10%), community and peer-based approaches (n=16%), cultural and language-specific approaches (n=4%), as well as training and capacity building (n=4%). Health education and counseling increase awareness about cervical cancer screening for women. This is especially true in countries with limited resources. The main interventions obtained from this study were health education and counseling. Future screening should use digital health tools like mHealth. It should also boost community-based methods. Finally, interventions need to fit cultural and language needs. This way, we can increase participation rates.

Diabetic neuropathy is a common complication of diabetes, characterised by peripheral nerve damage that manifests as sensory loss and pain. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a crucial role in angiogenesis and microvascular function. The association between the rs3025039 polymorphism in the VEGF gene and susceptibility to diabetic neuropathy remains controversial. Therefore, the meta-analysis searched databases for relevant articles published from the database establishment to March 1, 2023. Case-control studies examining VEGF gene polymorphisms in relation to diabetic neuropathy susceptibility, providing genotype/allele frequency data, and involving human subjects were included. Studies with incomplete data, non-human subjects research, or duplicate publications were excluded. RevMan 5.4 and StataMP 17 were used for the meta-analysis, and TSA 0.9.5.10 Beta was used for trial sequential analysis. The pooled analysis of CC vs. CT+TT genotypes, CC vs. CT genotypes, and C vs. T alleles showed an odds ratio >1 and p <0.05 based on the seven identified original studies. Sensitivity analysis and publication bias analysis supported the credibility of the meta-analysis' results. These findings provide statistical evidence supporting the association between the rs3025039 polymorphism and diabetic neuropathy susceptibility, with the C allele conferring a higher risk than the T allele. Key Words: Diabetic neuropathy, Vascular endothelial growth factor, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Meta-analysis, Trial sequential analysis.

The aims of this study were to evaluate and rank the efficacy of different acupoint stimulation (AS) therapies in the treatment of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) by network meta-analysis (NMA) and to explore the optimal AS regimen for improving sex hormone levels and clinical symptoms. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in English and Chinese up to November 2024 were searched in eight databases, including the Cochrane Library, PubMed, and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). Included studies were patients with POI diagnosed according to established international or Chinese guidelines. The intervention compared AS therapies (e.g., acupuncture, moxibustion, and electroacupuncture) with conventional treatments (oral herbs or hormone replacement therapy) or/and placebo. Outcome indicators included antral follicle count (AFC), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels, luteinizing hormone (LH) levels, estradiol (E2) levels, and Kupperman scores. The outcome indicators were evaluated on days 2-5 of the menstrual period. Exclusion criteria included non-RCTs, duplicate publications, non-peer-reviewed literature, studies with unclear outcome/baseline data, studies with a non-POI diagnosis, studies with a before-and-after own-control design, non-human studies, and studies with missing continuous data. Literature quality and risk of bias were assessed using Review Manager (RevMan), Version 5.3. Statistical analysis was performed using Stata 16.0 software, mvmeta package, and surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA). A total of 51 RCTs were retrieved, including 3,754 patients. A methodological assessment of 51 RCTs revealed generalized risks: 9.8% of RCTs used incorrect randomization methods; 29% of RCTs did not describe explicit randomization; all RCTs did not have explicit allocation concealment; 98% of RCTs did not mention blinding; all RCTs reported complete outcome data; and 98% of RCTs had unclear risks. Therapies combining multiple AS therapies (especially moxibustion-related therapies) improved ovarian function significantly. Acupuncture combined with moxibustion (Acu + Moxi) was effective in increasing AFC [mean difference (MD) = 2.04, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.31, 2.77); SUCRA = 75.1%]. Auricular seed therapy (AST) was most effective in reducing FSH [MD = 3.03, 95% CI (0.45, 5.60); SUCRA = 83.7%]. Acupuncture (Acu) was effective in reducing LH levels [MD = 1.52, 95% CI (0.27, 2.77); SUCRA = 58.3%]. Moxibustion combined with tuina (Moxi + MT) [MD = 11.92, 95% CI (8.19, 15.65); SUCRA = 100%] and moxibustion combined with acupressure [MD = 3.20, 95% CI (0.16, 6.24); SUCRA = 81.4%] significantly increased E2 levels. Moxibustion combined with tuina (Moxi + MT) had the best effect on Kupperman score improvement [MD = 4.63, 95% CI (0.58, 8.68); SUCRA = 92.1%]. Adverse events for all therapies involved in this study were mild and resolved with symptomatic management. AS therapies (especially those combined with moxibustion) can safely and effectively improve hormone levels and clinical symptoms in patients with POI, supporting their clinical application as complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/, identifier CRD42024612169.

OBJECTIVES This systematic review evaluates fertility-preserving surgery (FPS) outcomes in borderline ovarian tumours (BOTs), focusing on reproductive success and oncologic safety. METHODOLOGY We systematically searched PubMed, MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, the Cochrane Library, and ResearchGate (through September 14, 2024) using the terms "borderline ovarian tumour," "fertility-preserving surgery," and "reproductive outcome." From 2,288 initial records, we identified 10 high-quality (Newcastle-Ottawa Scale score ≥7) retrospective cohort studies (January 2019- September 2024) that met our eligibility criteria. The included English-language studies evaluated reproductive-aged women (14-49 years) with borderline ovarian tumours undergoing fertility-sparing surgery (cystectomy/USO). After excluding case reports, reviews, non-peer-reviewed articles, and duplicate publications, two reviewers independently extracted data, resolving discrepancies through consensus. We conducted this systematic review in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines, with registration on Prospero (Id: Crd420251042984). RESULTSAmong 1051 patients, pooled pregnancy rates ranged from 42.1% to 57.1%. Live birth rates varied widely (23-67%). Recurrence rates differed significantly by surgical approach: 24.1–33.3% after cystectomy versus 2.5-7.7% after USO. High-risk subgroups (advanced-stage/micropapillary histology) had recurrence rates up to 70.8%. Complete surgical staging reduced relapse risk by 21%, and ART did not increase recurrence. Bilateral cystectomy and USO + contralateral cystectomy showed comparable fertility outcomes. Malignant transformation was rare (0–20%), with no impact on overall 5-year survival (97–100%). CONCLUSION FPS provides reasonable reproductive outcomes but requires careful patient selection due to higher cystectomy-associated recurrence. Complete staging and histologic assessment are crucial. Until stronger evidence exists, USO with complete staging represents the most balanced option. Study limitations include retrospective designs and heterogeneous follow-up. Prospective trials with standardised protocols and long-term monitoring (at least 10 years) are needed.
