Risk of bias and methodological appraisal practices in systematic reviews published in anaesthetic journals: a meta‐epidemiological study
TLDR
Overall, the majority of reviews evaluated bias; however, many applied questionable methods, and greater attention is warranted given the potential effects of bias on summary outcomes.
Web-based decision aids for cancer clinical decisions: a systematic review and meta-analysis
TLDR
Although the research results showed evidence of WDA effects on certain outcome indicators of cancer decisions, these results should be interpreted with caution given the heterogeneity and quality flaws.
Reporting and methodological quality of COVID-19 systematic reviews needs to be improved: an evidence mapping
Conducting proportional meta-analysis in different types of systematic reviews: a guide for synthesisers of evidence
TLDR
This paper presents an overview targeted to synthesisers of evidence and systematic review authors that details the methods, importance, and interpretation of a proportional meta-analysis.
Methodological assessment of systematic reviews of in-vitro dental studies
TLDR
The overall rating of the confidence in the results was low and critically low for most systematic reviews and the methods of systematic reviews of in vitro dental studies were suboptimal.

Assessment of reporting quality of abstracts of systematic reviews with meta-analysis using PRISMA-A and discordance in assessments between raters without prior experience
TLDR
Reporting quality of systematic review abstracts in the field of anesthesiology is suboptimal, and did not improve after publication of PRISMA-A checklist in 2013, and need stricter adherence to reporting checklists by authors, editors and peer-reviewers.
Association Between Prospective Registration and Quality of Systematic Reviews in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Meta-epidemiological Study
TLDR
Methodological and reporting quality of systematic reviews in type 2 diabetes mellitus indicates an improvement in the recent years, however, the overall quality remains low, necessitating further improvement.
Reading, Conducting, and Developing Systematic Review and Individual Patient Data Meta-Analyses in Psychiatry for Treatment Issues
TLDR
The objective is to describe the interest and the steps of an IPD-MA method applied to the field of psychiatric therapeutic research, and to suggest an “ecosystem” that includes all stakeholders (questions of interest prioritised by the community, funders, trialists, journal editors, institutions, …) is required.
The Reporting Quality of Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses in Industrial and Organizational Psychology: A Systematic Review
TLDR
The reporting quality in the method section of quantitative systematic reviews and meta-analyses from 2009 to 2016 with the help of the Meta-Analysis Reporting Standards (MARS) was still insufficient, therefore researchers are recommended to improve the reporting in their articles by using reporting standards like MARS.

Approaches to heterogeneity in meta‐analysis
TLDR
This paper reviews publications from January 1999 to March 2001 on reproductive health topics that were self-identified as meta-analysis or were indexed asMeta-analysis in MEDLINE and provided some positive models and some recommendations for assessing, reporting and exploring heterogeneity.
Measuring inconsistency in meta-analyses
TLDR
A new quantity is developed, I 2, which the authors believe gives a better measure of the consistency between trials in a meta-analysis, which is susceptible to the number of trials included in the meta- analysis.
Preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis protocols (PRISMA-P) 2015: elaboration and explanation
Protocols of systematic reviews and meta-analyses allow for planning and documentation of review methods, act as a guard against arbitrary decision making during review conduct, enable readers to…
Bias in meta-analysis detected by a simple, graphical test
TLDR
Funnel plots, plots of the trials' effect estimates against sample size, are skewed and asymmetrical in the presence of publication bias and other biases Funnel plot asymmetry, measured by regression analysis, predicts discordance of results when meta-analyses are compared with single large trials.
The existence of publication bias and risk factors for its occurrence.
Publication bias is the tendency on the parts of investigators, reviewers, and editors to submit or accept manuscripts for publication based on the direction or strength of the study findings. Much…
Publication bias in clinical research
A comparison of statistical methods for meta‐analysis
TLDR
It is shown that the commonly used DerSimonian and Laird method does not adequately reflect the error associated with parameter estimation, especially when the number of studies is small, and three methods currently used for estimation within the framework of a random effects model are considered.
Operating characteristics of a rank correlation test for publication bias.
An adjusted rank correlation test is proposed as a technique for identifying publication bias in a meta-analysis, and its operating characteristics are evaluated via simulations. The test statistic…
Meta-analysis in clinical trials.
Impact of allocation concealment on conclusions drawn from meta-analyses of randomized trials.
TLDR
Two-thirds of conclusions in favour of one of the interventions were no longer supported if only trials with adequate allocation concealment were included, and the loss of support mainly reflected loss of power and a shift in the point estimate towards a less beneficial effect.
