Summary
This systematic review and reanalysis of 62 multi-person N-of-1 studies found identified statistically significant person-level heterogeneity of treatment effects in 8 of the 13 studies (62%) reporting person-level treatment effects and in 8 of the 14 studies (57%) reporting person-level outcomes. The authors concluded that person-level heterogeneity
of treatment effects is common and often substantial and called for improved assessment and reporting of person-level treatment effects in multi-person N-of-1 studies.
