Article analysis:

The article is generally reliable and trustworthy as it provides detailed information on its research methods, results, and conclusions. The authors have provided sufficient evidence to support their claims by citing relevant studies in the literature review section. Furthermore, they have also provided a clear description of their research methodology which includes details such as sample size, randomization process, inclusion/exclusion criteria, etc., thus making it easier to assess the validity of their findings.

However, there are some potential biases that should be noted. Firstly, since this was a single-center study conducted at one hospital in Beijing, it may not be representative of other populations or settings. Secondly, since this was an observational study rather than a randomized controlled trial (RCT), there may be confounding factors that could affect the results which were not taken into account by the authors. Finally, although the authors have discussed some potential limitations to their study such as sample size and lack of long-term follow-up data, they did not provide any further discussion on how these limitations might have impacted their findings or what implications they might have for future research in this area.
