β Blockade after myocardial infarction: systematic review and meta regression analysis

Several errors crept into this paper by Freemantle and colleagues (26 June 1999, pp 1730-7). In figures 1 and 2 some of the references were incorrectly cited and several bars did not agree with the odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals.

ISIS-1=first international study of infarct survival; TIMI IIB=thrombolysis in myocardial infarction phase II trial; MIAMI=metoprolol in acute myocardial infarction; CPRG=Coronary Prevention Research Group; ICSG=International Collaborative Study Group; UKCSG=UK Collaborative Study Group
