Researchers thus face a trade-off between using large but incomplete databases versus using detailed but ofte...
متن کاملResearch Techniques Made Simple: Workflow for Searching Databases to Reduce Evidence Selection Bias in Systematic Reviews.
Clinical trials and basic science studies without statistically significant results are less likely to be published than studies with statistically significant results. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses that omit unpublished data are at high risk of distorted conclusions. Here, we describe methods to search beyond bibliographical databases to reduce evidence selection bias in systematic revi...
