Ziren Jiang et al.
Matching-adjusted indirect comparison (MAIC) has been increasingly applied in health technology assessments (HTA). By reweighting subjects from a trial with individual participant data (IPD) to match the summary statistics of covariates in ...
Synthesis of depression outcomes reported on different scales: A comparison of methods for modelling mean differences [0.03%]
不同量表报告的抑郁症结局的合成：均值差异建模方法的比较
Beatrice C Downing,Nicky J Welton,Hugo Pedder et al.
Beatrice C Downing et al.
Several methods have been proposed for the synthesis of continuous outcomes reported on different scales, including the Standardised Mean Difference (SMD) and the Ratio of Means (RoM). SMDs can be formed by dividing the study mean treatment...

Background: Biomedical entity normalization is critical to biomedical research because the richness of free-text clinical data, such as progress notes, can often be fully leveraged only after translating words and phrases...
metaConvert: an automatic suite for estimation of 11 different effect size measures and flexible conversion across them [0.03%]
MetaConvert：一种估计11种不同效应量指标并与它们灵活转换的自动化套件
Corentin J Gosling,Samuele Cortese,Marco Solmi et al.
Corentin J Gosling et al.
A fundamental pillar of science is the estimation of the effect size of associations. However, this task is sometimes difficult and error-prone. To facilitate this process, the R package metaConvert automatically calculates and flexibly con...
Sensitivity analysis for reporting bias on the time-dependent summary receiver operating characteristics curve in meta-analysis of prognosis studies with time-to-event outcomes [0.03%]
Meta分析中对生存结局的预后研究进行报告偏差敏感性分析的时变总结受试者工作特征曲线方法学研究
Yi Zhou,Ao Huang,Satoshi Hattori

In prognosis studies with time-to-event outcomes, the survivals of groups with high/low biomarker expression are often estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method, and the difference between groups is measured by the hazard ratios (HRs). Since the...
Exploring the potential of Claude 2 for risk of bias assessment: Using a large language model to assess randomized controlled trials with RoB 2 [0.03%]
探索Claude 2在偏倚风险评估中的潜力：使用大型语言模型用RoB 2评估随机对照试验
Angelika Eisele-Metzger,Judith-Lisa Lieberum,Markus Toews et al.
Angelika Eisele-Metzger et al.
Systematic reviews are essential for evidence-based health care, but conducting them is time- and resource-consuming. To date, efforts have been made to accelerate and (semi-)automate various steps of systematic reviews through the use of a...
Treatment recommendations based on network meta-analysis: Rules for risk-averse decision-makers [0.03%]
基于网络 meta 分析的治疗推荐：风险厌恶型决策者的规则
A E Ades,Annabel L Davies,David M Phillippo et al.
A E Ades et al.
The treatment recommendation based on a network meta-analysis (NMA) is usually the single treatment with the highest expected value (EV) on an evaluative function. We explore approaches that recommend multiple treatments and that penalise u...
Translation and validation of a geographic search filter to identify studies about Germany in Embase (Ovid) and MEDLINE(R) ALL (Ovid) [0.03%]
EMBASE和MEDLINE中地理检索过滤器的翻译与验证以识别关于德国的研究
