Direct linkCooper, Chris; Dawson, Sarah; Lefebvre, Carol – Research Synthesis Methods, 2022
Systematic reviews of medical devices have generally adopted the same methodology for the conduct of their reviews as reviews of other clinical interventions, in particular, medicines. It has been suggested that these methods may need to be developed to account for the challenges of reviewing the evidence for medical devices when compared to…

Waffenschmidt, Siw; Navarro-Ruan, Tamara; Hobson, Nick; Hausner, Elke; Sauerland, Stefan; Haynes, R. Brian – Research Synthesis Methods, 2020
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 ([greater than or equal to] 92%), a precondition for comprehensive information retrieval.

Searching for unpublished studies may avoid bias due to selective publication, enrich the power of systematic reviews, and thereby help to reduce research waste. We assessed searching practices among recent systematic reviews of diagnostic…
