Fanshawe, Thomas R.; Shaw, Luke F.; Spence, Graeme T. – Research Synthesis Methods, 2017
Introduction: Previous studies suggest that many systematic reviews contain meta-analyses that display temporal trends, such as the first study's result being more extreme than later studies' or a drift in the pooled estimate. We assessed the extent and characteristics of temporal trends using all Cochrane intervention reports published 2008-2012.…
