Abstract

Authors' reply to: Did you add the same study twice in the meta-analysis? by Andrea Cipriani (DOI: 10.1192/bjp.207.2.177).

Tol et al provide an explanation involving their use of a preprint report that was later published. A revised meta-analysis table and figure are provided. With the exception of a small improvement in the significance of the drug sertraline effectiveness as a treatment for PTSD, the double report inclusion did not affect the results.
