Should we search Chinese biomedical databases when performing systematic reviews?

We additionally assessed the extent to which Cochrane reviewers have searched Chinese databases in a systematic overview of the Cochrane Library (inception to 2014). Results The two diagnostic reviews included a total of 269 unique studies, but only 4 studies were included in both reviews. The first review included five studies published in the Chinese language (o...

Recent Clinical Applications of Japanese Oriental (Kampo) Medicine for Rheumatoid Arthritis: Search for Kampo Responder.
Abstract Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a heterogeneous disease. In rheumatology, researchers have not identified useful clinical markers to predict the effects of biological agents or of nonbiological, antirheumatic drugs before administration. Since the advent of biological agents, therapeutic strategies for RA have focused on early detection and early intensive treatment. Although responders to Japanese Oriental (Kampo) medicine exist, physicians first have had to diagnose RA using the practices of conventional medicine. They could identify those patients who would benefit from administration of Kampo medicine on...

Interventions for preventing mastitis after childbirth.
CONCLUSIONS: There is some evidence that acupoint massage is probably better than routine care, probiotics may be better than placebo, and breast massage and low frequency pulse treatment may be better than routine care for preventing mastitis. However, it is important to note that we are aware of at least one large trial investigating probiotics whose results have not been made public, therefore, the evidence presented here is incomplete. The available evidence regarding other interventions, including breastfeeding education, pharmacological treatments and alternative therapies, suggests these may be little better than ro...
