New resources ● Members of Screening and Diagnostic Tests and GRADEing provide guidance on rating imprecision in a body of evidence assessing the accuracy of a single test in the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology. ● Members of Prognosis and GRADEing provide guidance on how to judge the certainty of discrimination performance estimates of prognostic models in a body of validation studies in the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology. ● Members of Qualitative and Implementation discuss the limitations of tools to assess the methodological limitations of a completed QES in Systematic Reviews. ● Members of Statistics respond to the paper "A method was developed for correcting the bias in the usual study weights in meta-analyses" in the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology. ● Members of Bias and GRADEing introduce the Risk Of Bias In Non-randomised Studies of Exposures (ROBINS-E) tool, focused on the assessment of the risk of bias in estimates from cohort studies of the causal effect of an exposure on an outcome in Environment International. ● Members of Bias and Statistics describe application and interpretation errors that can arise in pairwise meta-analyses in systematic reviews of interventions in the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology. ● Members of Equity describe the methods used to develop a new reporting guidance checklist for studies of HIV drug resistance prevalence or incidence in BMJ Open. ● Members of Rapid Reviews identify guidance based on the preferences of guideline developers and evidence synthesis producers about the format of evidence synthesis summaries to support decision-making in Systematic Reviews. ● Members of Comparing Multiple Interventions assess different approaches using simulated and real data with binary and time-to-event outcomes to estimate the individualised treatment effects from an IPD-MA in a one-stage approach in BMC Medical Research Methodology. ● Members of Qualitative and Implementation report the update of the Right Review tool and establish a common set of questions for synthesising quantitative and qualitative studies in the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology. ● Members of Co-Production provide recommendations for conducting the patient and public involvement (PPI) component when developing reporting guidelines in Research Involvement and Engagement. ● Members of Bias and Statistics present validated search filters to retrieve interrupted time series studies in MEDLINE and PubMed in Research Synthesis Methods. ● Members of Equity evaluate how equity-relevant observational studies reported equity considerations in the study design and analyses in the Journal of Global Health. ● Members of Rapid Reviews offer guidance on determining when to conduct a rapid review instead of a full systematic review in BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine. ● Members of Comparing Multiple Interventions present a protocol for developing a tool (INSPECT-SR) to identify problematic randomised controlled trials in systematic reviews of health interventions in BMJ Open.
