The review identified 32 randomised trials of individualised homeopathy in 24 medical conditions. Twenty-two had data suitable for meta-analysis, and only 3 were judged to provide reliable evidence. The pooled odds ratio was 1.53 (95% CI 1.22–1.91) in favour of homeopathy. The authors conclude that individualised homeopathic medicines may have small, specific treatment effects, but note that the low or unclear overall quality of the evidence calls for caution in interpreting the findings.
