Systematic reviews should build on a protocol that describes the rationale, hypothesis, and planned methods of review; few report whether exists. Detailed, well-described protocols can facilitate understanding appraisal review methods, as well detection modifications to selective reporting in completed reviews. We describe development guideline, Preferred Reporting Items for Meta-Analyses Protocols 2015 (PRISMA-P 2015). PRISMA-P consists 17-item checklist intended preparation robust...

Protocols of systematic reviews and meta-analyses allow for planning documentation review methods, act as a guard against arbitrary decision making during conduct, enable readers to assess the presence selective reporting completed reviews, and, when made publicly available, reduce duplication efforts potentially prompt collaboration. Evidence documenting existence excessive on same or similar topics is accumulating many calls have been in support public availability protocols. Several...

In systematic reviews and meta-analyses, time-to-event outcomes are most appropriately analysed using hazard ratios (HRs). the absence of individual patient data (IPD), methods available to obtain HRs and/or associated statistics by carefully manipulating published or other summary data. Awareness adoption these is somewhat limited, perhaps because they in statistical literature notation.

The benefit Australia was it could leverage research in Canada development their guidelines early years. Concurrently, Grading Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) working group published a model to produce based on adoption, adaption and/or de novo using GRADE evidence-to-decision...

Abstract Background Stakeholder engagement has become widely accepted as a necessary component of guideline development and implementation. While frameworks for developing guidelines express the need those potentially affected by recommendations to be involved in their development, there is lack consensus on how this should done practice. Further, guidance equitably meaningfully engage multiple stakeholders. We aim develop meaningful equitable stakeholders Methods This will multi-stage...

Lack of transparency in clinical trial conduct, publication bias and selective reporting are still important problems medical research. Through trials registration, it should be possible to take steps towards resolving some these problems. However, previous evaluations registered records have shown that information is often incomplete non-meaningful. If studies accurate, this negates the benefits registration trials.

Introduction The benefits of clinical trials registration include improved transparency on for healthcare workers and patients, increased accountability trialists, the potential to address publication bias selective reporting, possibilities research collaboration prioritization. However, poor quality information in registered records has been found undermine these past. Trialists' increasing experience with trial recent developments systems may have positively affected data quality. This...
