Direct linkYu, Tianqi; Lin, Lifeng; Furuya-Kanamori, Luis; Xu, Chang – Research Synthesis Methods, 2022
In evidence-based practice, new topics generally only have a few studies available for synthesis. As a result, the evidence of such meta-analyses raised substantial concerns. We investigated the robustness of the evidence from these earliest studies. Real-world data from the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR) were collected. We…

Calonge, Ned; Shekelle, Paul G.; Owens, Douglas K.; Teutsch, Steven; Downey, Autumn; Brown, Lisa; Noyes, Jane – Research Synthesis Methods, 2023
Despite research investment and a growing body of diverse evidence there has been no comprehensive review and grading of evidence for public health emergency preparedness and response practices comparable to those in medicine and other public health fields. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened an ad hoc committee…

Elizabeth Brisco; Elena Kulinskaya; Julia Koricheva – Research Synthesis Methods, 2024
Outcomes of meta-analyses are increasingly used to inform evidence-based decision making in various research fields. However, a number of recent studies have reported rapid temporal changes in magnitude and significance of the reported effects which could make policy-relevant recommendations from meta-analyses to quickly go out of date. We…

Weise, Alina; Büchter, Roland; Pieper, Dawid; Mathes, Tim – Research Synthesis Methods, 2020
Background: Evidence syntheses provide the basis for evidence-based decision making in healthcare. To judge the certainty of findings for the specific decision context evidence syntheses should consider context suitability (ie, generalizability, external validity, applicability or transferability). Our objective was to determine the status quo and…

Noma, Hisashi; Hamura, Yasuyuki; Sugasawa, Shonosuke; Furukawa, Toshi A. – Research Synthesis Methods, 2023
Network meta-analysis has played an important role in evidence-based medicine for assessing the comparative effectiveness of multiple available treatments. The prediction interval has been one of the standard outputs in recent network meta-analysis as an effective measure that enables simultaneous assessment of uncertainties in treatment effects…

Altena, A. J.; Spijker, R.; Olabarriaga, S. D. – Research Synthesis Methods, 2019
Systematic reviews are a cornerstone of today's evidence-informed decision making. With the rapid expansion of questions to be addressed and scientific information produced, there is a growing workload on reviewers, making the current practice unsustainable without the aid of automation tools. While many automation tools have been developed and…

Hoyer, Annika; Hirt, Stefan; Kuss, Oliver – Research Synthesis Methods, 2018
Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are the cornerstones of evidence-based medicine and inform treatment, diagnosis, or prevention of individual patients as well as policy decisions in health care. Statistical methods for the meta-analysis of intervention studies are well established today. Meta-analysis for diagnostic accuracy trials has also…

Reid, Edwin; Guise, Jeanne-Marie; Fiordalisi, Celia; Macdonald, Scott; Chang, Stephanie – Research Synthesis Methods, 2021
Evidence-based decision-making is predicated on the ability of users to find and comprehend results from systematic review. Evidence producers have an obligation to support evidence users in this process. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Evidence-based Practice Center (EPC) program--a producer of rigorous and comprehensive…

Biocic, Marina; Fidahic, Mahir; Cikes, Karla; Puljak, Livia – Research Synthesis Methods, 2019
Background: It has been reported that information sources searched in systematic reviews (SRs) are insufficiently comprehensive. We analyzed information sources used in SRs, as well as how up-to-date were the searches. Methods: We searched PubMed and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR) through Wiley from 2012 to 2016 to find SRs of…

Taylor-Phillips, Sian; Geppert, Julia; Stinton, Chris; Freeman, Karoline; Johnson, Samantha; Fraser, Hannah; Sutcliffe, Paul; Clarke, Aileen – Research Synthesis Methods, 2017
Background: Rapid reviews are increasingly used to replace/complement systematic reviews to support evidence-based decision-making. Little is known about how this expedited process affects results. Objectives: To assess differences between rapid and systematic review approaches for a case study of test accuracy of succinylacetone for detecting…
