Q1Domain Verified
In the context of a systematic review, which of the following best describes the primary purpose of a pre-registered protocol?
To facilitate communication between reviewers and statisticians during the data extraction phase.
To document the final findings of the review for publication.
To provide a detailed plan for conducting the review, ensuring transparency and minimizing bias.
To serve as a repository for all retrieved literature, regardless of relevance.
Q2Domain Verified
, eligibility criteria, search strategy, data extraction methods, and planned analysis *before* the review begins. This prevents researchers from selectively choosing methods or outcomes that favor a particular result (p-hacking or outcome reporting bias). Option A is incorrect because the protocol is a plan, not the final findings. Option C is incorrect as the protocol guides literature retrieval, but it's not a general repository. Option D is too narrow; while communication is important, the protocol's scope is far broader than just reviewer-statistician interaction. Question: During the meta-analysis phase of a systematic review, what does the concept of "heterogeneity" primarily refer to?
The consistency of the effect size estimates across all included studies.
The variation in the methods used for data extraction across different reviewers.
The degree to which the true effect sizes in the population differ from study to study.
The number of studies included in the meta-analysis that are of low methodological quality.
Q3Domain Verified
A systematic review identifies a significant publication bias where studies with statistically significant positive results are more likely to be published than those with non-significant or negative results. Which of the following statistical methods is most appropriate for assessing and potentially adjusting for this bias?
Subgroup analysis
Sensitivity analysis based on study quality
Forest plot analysis
Funnel plot asymmetry assessment
