Rapid review methodology aims to facilitate faster conduct of systematic reviews to meet the needs of the decision-maker, while also maintaining quality and credibility. This systematic review aimed to determine the impact of different methodological shortcuts for undertaking rapid reviews on the risk of bias (RoB) of the results of the review.…

Pieper, Dawid; Hoffmann, Falk – Research Synthesis Methods, 2022
Cochrane reviews are known to be a high-quality source of evidence synthesis supporting health care decisions. In a recently conducted study, we analyzed the trends in epidemiology and reporting of published systematic reviews over the last 20 years. This sample of 1132 systematic reviews included 84 Cochrane reviews. We have learned several…

Vali, Yasaman; Yang, Bada; Olsen, Maria; Leeflang, Mariska M. G.; Bossuyt, Patrick M. M. – Research Synthesis Methods, 2021
Comparative accuracy studies evaluate the relative performance of two or more diagnostic tests. As any other form of research, such studies should be reported in an informative manner, to allow replication and to be useful for decision-making. In this study we aimed to assess whether and how components of test comparisons were reported in…

Ferguson, Sarah L.; Kerrigan, Monica Reid; Hovey, Katrina A. – Research Synthesis Methods, 2020
This article identifies and unpacks three key decision points in a systematic mixed research synthesis, a mixed methods approach to research synthesis. The research community has increasingly recognized the value of synthesis studies in expanding our understanding of phenomena. Mixed-methodology broadly has also gained ground as a pragmatic…

Rombey, Tanja; Lochner, Valerie; Puljak, Livia; Könsgen, Nadja; Mathes, Tim; Pieper, Dawid – Research Synthesis Methods, 2020
Background: It is important that systematic reviews (SRs) are up-to-date, otherwise they cannot be relied upon to guide decision-making in practice and policy. Our aim was to investigate epidemiological, descriptive and reporting characteristics of a cross-section of recently published updates of SRs. Methods: A SR update was defined as a new…

Ryo, Masahiro; Jeschke, Jonathan M.; Rillig, Matthias C.; Heger, Tina – Research Synthesis Methods, 2020
Research synthesis on simple yet general hypotheses and ideas is challenging in scientific disciplines studying highly context-dependent systems such as medical, social, and biological sciences. This study shows that machine learning, equation-free statistical modeling of artificial intelligence, is a promising synthesis tool for discovering novel…
