Graphical Tools for Visualizing the Results of Network Meta-Analysis of Multicomponent Interventions
Seitidis, Georgios; Tsokani, Sofia; Christogiannis, Christos; Kontouli, Katerina-Maria; Fyraridis, Alexandros; Nikolakopoulos, Stavros; Veroniki, Areti Angeliki; Mavridis, Dimitris – Research Synthesis Methods, 2023
Network meta-analysis (NMA) is an established method for assessing the comparative efficacy and safety of competing interventions. It is often the case that we deal with interventions that consist of multiple, possibly interacting, components. Examples of interventions' components include characteristics of the intervention, mode (face-to-face,…

Konstantinos I. Bougioukas; Paschalis Karakasis; Konstantinos Pamporis; Emmanouil Bouras; Anna-Bettina Haidich – Research Synthesis Methods, 2024
Systematic reviews (SRs) have an important role in the healthcare decision-making practice. Assessing the overall confidence in the results of SRs using quality assessment tools, such as "A MeaSurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews 2" (AMSTAR 2), is crucial since not all SRs are conducted using the most rigorous methods. In this…

Turner, Simon L.; Karahalios, Amalia; Forbes, Andrew B.; Taljaard, Monica; Grimshaw, Jeremy M.; Korevaar, Elizabeth; Cheng, Allen C.; Bero, Lisa; McKenzie, Joanne E. – Research Synthesis Methods, 2021
Introduction: Interrupted Time Series (ITS) studies may be used to assess the impact of an interruption, such as an intervention or exposure. The data from such studies are particularly amenable to visual display and, when clearly depicted, can readily show the short- and long-term impact of an interruption. Further, well-constructed graphs allow…

Seide, Svenja E.; Jensen, Katrin; Kieser, Meinhard – Research Synthesis Methods, 2021
Traditional visualization in meta-analysis uses forest plots to illustrate the combined treatment effect, along with the respective results from primary trials. While the purpose of visualization is clear in the pairwise setting, additional treatments broaden the focus and extend the results to be illustrated in network meta-analysis. The…

Lin, Lifeng – Research Synthesis Methods, 2019
Assessing publication bias is a critical procedure in meta-analyses for rating the synthesized overall evidence. Because statistical tests for publication bias are usually not powerful and only give "P" values that inform either the presence or absence of the bias, examining the asymmetry of funnel plots has been popular to investigate…

Brannick, Michael T.; Gültas, Mehmet – Research Synthesis Methods, 2017
We describe a meta-analytic scatterplot that indicates precision of points for two variables paired within studies; this is equivalent in form to a 'cross-hairs' plot used to portray specificity and sensitivity in diagnostic testing. At the user's discretion, the plot also displays boxplots for each of the X and Y variable distributions, means for…
