Review Meta Analysis
Foot orthoses for plantar heel pain: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
To investigate the effectiveness of foot orthoses for pain and function in adults with plantar heel pain. ⋯ There is moderate-quality evidence that foot orthoses are effective at reducing pain in the medium term, however it is uncertain whether this is a clinically important change.

Review Meta Analysis
Interventions to reduce sedentary behaviour in 0-5-year-olds: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.
To evaluate the effectiveness of behavioural interventions that report sedentary behaviour outcomes during early childhood. ⋯ Despite heterogeneity in study methods and results, overall interventions to reduce sedentary behaviour in early childhood show significant reductions, suggesting that this may be an opportune time to intervene.

Review Meta Analysis
Dietary supplements for treating osteoarthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
To investigate the efficacy and safety of dietary supplements for patients with osteoarthritis. ⋯ The overall analysis including all trials showed that supplements provided moderate and clinically meaningful treatment effects on pain and function in patients with hand, hip or knee osteoarthritis at short term, although the quality of evidence was very low. Some supplements with a limited number of studies and participants suggested large treatment effects, while widely used supplements such as glucosamine and chondroitin were either ineffective or showed small and arguably clinically unimportant treatment effects. Supplements had no clinically important effects on pain and function at medium-term and long-term follow-ups.
