Meta-analytic methods are powerful resources to summarize the existing evidence concerning a given research question and are widely used in many academic fields. Meta-analyzes can also be used to study sources of heterogeneity and bias amon...
Optimally estimating the sample standard deviation from the five-number summary [0.03%]

Jiandong Shi et al.
When reporting the results of clinical studies, some researchers may choose the five-number summary (including the sample median, the first and third quartiles, and the minimum and maximum values) rather than the sample mean and standard de...

In narrative synthesis of evidence, it can be the case that the only quantitative measures available concerning the efficacy of an intervention is the direction of the effect, that is, whether it is positive or negative. In such situations,...
The Kilim plot: A tool for visualizing network meta-analysis results for multiple outcomes [0.03%]

Network meta-analysis (NMA) can be used to compare multiple competing treatments for the same disease. In practice, usually a range of outcomes is of interest. As the number of outcomes increases, summarizing results from multiple NMAs beco...
"It has no meaning to me." How do researchers understand the effectiveness of literature searches? A qualitative analysis and preliminary typology of understandings [0.03%]
“这对我来说没有任何意义。”研究人员如何理解文献检索的有效性？一项定性分析及初步的类型学研究
Chris Cooper,Ruth Garside,Joanna Varley-Campbell et al.

This study aimed to address the question: what does "effectiveness" mean to researchers in the context of literature searching for systematic reviews? We conducted a thematic analysis of responses to an e-mail survey. Eighty-nine study auth...
Development and validation of study filters for identifying controlled non-randomized studies in PubMed and Ovid MEDLINE [0.03%]

A retrospective analysis published by the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) in 2018 concluded that no filter for non-randomized studies (NRS) achieved sufficient sensitivity (≥92%), a precondition for compr...

"Classic" forest plots show the effect sizes from individual studies and the aggregate effect from a meta-analysis. However, in ecology and evolution, meta-analyses routinely contain over 100 effect sizes, making the classic forest plot of ...

Meta-analyses are often used to estimate the relative average values of a quantitative outcome in two groups (eg, control and experimental groups). However, they may also examine the relative variability (variance) of those groups. For such...
A Bayesian approach to assessing small-study effects in meta-analysis of a binary outcome with controlled false positive rate [0.03%]

Publication bias threatens meta-analysis validity. It is often assessed via the funnel plot; an asymmetric plot implies small-study effects, and publication bias is one cause of the asymmetry. Egger's regression test is a widely used tool t...
Equivalence of entropy balancing and the method of moments for matching-adjusted indirect comparison [0.03%]

Indirect comparisons are used to obtain estimates of relative effectiveness between two treatments that have not been compared in the same randomized controlled trial, but have instead been compared against a common comparator in separate t...
