Breastfeeding and maternal and infant health outcomes in developed countries.
TLDR
A history of breastfeeding was associated with a reduced risk of many diseases in infants and mothers from developed countries and cluster randomized controlled studies on the effectiveness of various breastfeeding promotion interventions will provide further opportunity to investigate any disparity in health outcomes as a result of the intervention.

Closing the Gap between Methodologists and End-Users: R as a Computational Back-End
TLDR
This paper presents open-source meta-analysis software that uses R as the underlying statistical engine, and Python for the GUI, and a framework that allows methodologists to implement new methods in R that are then automatically integrated into the GUI for use by end-users, so long as the programmer conforms to the interface.

An exploratory test for an excess of significant findings
TLDR
A test to explore biases stemming from the pursuit of nominal statistical significance was developed and demonstrated a clear or possible excess of significant studies in 6 of 8 large meta-analyses and in the wide domain of neuroleptic treatments.

Semi-automated screening of biomedical citations for systematic reviews
TLDR
A semi-automated citation screening algorithm for systematic reviews has the potential to substantially reduce the number of citations reviewers have to manually screen, without compromising the quality and comprehensiveness of the review.

Impact of violations and deviations in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium on postulated gene-disease associations.
TLDR
Gene-disease association studies and meta-analyses thereof should routinely scrutinize the potential impact of HWE violations as well as nonsignificant deviations from the exact frequencies expected under HWE.
