Dichotomous data were pooled as odds ratios using a random-effects model with the Mantel-Haenszel method, while continuous data were analyzed as mean ± standard deviation values, mean differences, and standardized mean differences using inverse-variance fixed-effects analysis. Fifteen randomized clinical trials (RCTs) were included, enrolling a total of 2,186 pregnant women. Nifedipine showed a greater effect compared to a 4-gram IV dose of magnesium sulfate.
