Recurring low statistical robustness in orthopaedic surgery: A systematic review of 84 fragility index studies [PDF]
Purpose Increasing attention has been directed towards the fragility index (FI) and reverse fragility index (RFI) in orthopaedic surgery. The purpose of this study was to amalgamate the FI and RFI literature in orthopaedic surgery, and critically ...

Factors that impact fragility index and their visualizations. [PDF]
AbstractRationale aims and objectivesAs the recent literature has growing concerns about research replicability and the misuse and misconception of P‐values, the fragility index (FI) has been an attractive measure to assess the robustness (or fragility) of clinical study results with binary outcomes.

Evaluating the properties of the fragility index of meta-analyses. [PDF]
Abstract Background The fragility index (FI) has become an increasingly popular supplementary measure for evaluating the robustness of a study’s conclusions. While initially developed for individual clinical trials, the FI has been extended to meta-analyses (MAs) of multiple studies.

Fragility Index and Fragility Quotient in Statistically Significant Randomized Controlled Trials in Plastic Breast Surgery [PDF]
Background:. The fragility index (FI) was conceived as an adjunct to the P value, signifying the strength of statistically significant results. The index states the minimal number of patients whose outcome must be changed from “event” to “nonevent” for ...

BACKGROUND In randomised clinical trials (RCTs) rejecting the null hypothesis, the fragility index (FI) yields the minimum number of participants who would need to have had a different outcome for the results of the trial to become non-significant.
