摘要
A recent network meta-analysis of alpha-blockers, antibiotics and other drug therapies for chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) found that they provided modest-to-no benefit for this condition, confirming previous findings. However, a casual reading of the article may give a false impression of the efficacy and appropriateness of these drugs.
