The placebo effect is a well described phenomenon in blinded studies evaluating antianginal therapeutics, although its effect on clinical research metrics remains unknown. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to quantify the effect of placebo on end points of symptoms, life quality, and functional outcomes in randomized placebo-controlled trials (RCTs) of symptomatic stable coronary artery disease.

Abstract

The placebo effect is a well described phenomenon in blinded studies evaluating antianginal therapeutics, although its effect on clinical research metrics remains unknown. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to quantify the effect of placebo on end points of symptoms, life quality, and functional outcomes in randomized placebo-controlled trials (RCTs) of symptomatic stable coronary artery disease.
