Challenges of identifying unpublished data from clinical trials: Getting the best out of clinical trials registers and other novel sources
Research Synthesis Methods - Tập 9 Số 4 - Trang 561-578 - 2018
Jaana Isojärvi, Hannah Wood, Carol Lefebvre, Julie Glanville
Clinical trial data are essential for assessments of the effectiveness of health care interventions. Information about ongoing or completed, but not yet formally published, trials has been more difficult to identify until the development of clinical trials registers and portals. This paper summarises research evidence on identifying sources of trial data, how and when to search those sourc...... hiện toàn bộ

Searching for grey literature for systematic reviews: challenges and benefits
Research Synthesis Methods - Tập 5 Số 3 - Trang 221-234 - 2014
Quenby Mahood, Dwayne Van Eerd, Emma Irvin
There is ongoing interest in including grey literature in systematic reviews. Including grey literature can broaden the scope to more relevant studies, thereby providing a more complete view of available evidence. Searching for grey literature can be challenging despite greater access through the Internet, search engines and online bibliographic databases. There are a number of publication...... hiện toàn bộ
revtools: An R package to support article screening for evidence synthesis
Research Synthesis Methods - Tập 10 Số 4 - Trang 606-614 - 2019
Martin J. Westgate
The field of evidence synthesis is growing rapidly, with a corresponding increase in the number of software tools and workflows to support the construction of systematic reviews, systematic maps, and meta‐analyses. Despite much progress, however, a number of problems remain, including slow integration of new statistical or methodological approaches into user‐friendly software, low prevalen...... hiện toàn bộ

A scoping review of scoping reviews: advancing the approach and enhancing the consistency
Research Synthesis Methods - Tập 5 Số 4 - Trang 371-385 - 2014
Mai Pham, Andrijana Rajić, Judy Greig, Jan M. Sargeant, Andrew Papadopoulos, Scott A. McEwen
BackgroundThe scoping review has become an increasingly popular approach for synthesizing research evidence. It is a relatively new approach for which a universal study definition or definitive procedure has not been established. The purpose of this scoping review was to provide an overview of scoping reviews in the literature.... hiện toàn bộ

Methods for the joint meta‐analysis of multiple tests
Research Synthesis Methods - Tập 5 Số 4 - Trang 294-312 - 2014
Thomas A Trikalinos, David C. Hoaglin, Kevin Small, Norma Terrin, Christopher H. Schmid
Existing methods for meta‐analysis of diagnostic test accuracy focus primarily on a single index test. We propose models for the joint meta‐analysis of studies comparing multiple index tests on the same participants in paired designs. These models respect the grouping of data by studies, account for the within‐study correlation between the tests' true‐positive rates (TPRs) and between thei...... hiện toàn bộ

Introduction, comparison, and validation of Meta‐Essentials: A free and simple tool for meta‐analysis
Research Synthesis Methods - Tập 8 Số 4 - Trang 537-553 - 2017
Robert Suurmond, Henk van Rhee, Tony Hak
We present a new tool for meta‐analysis, Meta‐Essentials, which is free of charge and easy to use. In this paper, we introduce the tool and compare its features to other tools for meta‐analysis. We also provide detailed information on the validation of the tool. Although free of charge and simple, Meta‐Essentials automatically calculate...... hiện toàn bộ
