Metaresearch, Psychology, and Law: A Case Study on Implicit Bias

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2023
When can scientific findings from experimental psychology be confidently applied to legal issues? When applications have clear limits, do legal commentators readily acknowledge them? To address these questions, we survey recent findings from an emerging field of research on research (i.e., metaresearch).

Metaresearch on patient-reported outcomes in trial protocols and results publications suggested large outcome reporting bias

Journal of Clinical Epidemiology
Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) provide crucial information for evaluating health-care interventions, but previous research in specific disease areas suggested infrequent use and incomplete reporting of PROs. We examined the prevalence and characteristics of PROs in randomized clinical trial (RCT) protocols across medical fields, their reporting ...

Only half of the authors of overviews of exercise-related interventions use some strategy to manage overlapping primary studies—a metaresearch study

Journal of Clinical Epidemiology
The conduct of systematic reviews (SRs) and overviews share several similarities. However, because the unit of analysis for overviews is the SRs, there are some unique challenges. One of the most critical issues to manage when conducting an overview is the overlap of data across the primary studies included in the SRs.

Characteristics of search methods in dental meta-research studies: a methodological study

Journal of Clinical Epidemiology
Meta-research studies, defined as, "research on research," should transparently report search methods used to identify the assessed research. Currently, there is no published evaluation of search methods reporting in meta-research studies. The aim of this study was to assess the characteristics of search methods in dental meta-research studies and to ...

A metaresearch study finds unclear impact of institutional conflicts of interest on conclusions of studies investigating volume–outcome relationships

Journal of Clinical Epidemiology
This study aimed to explore institutional conflicts of interest (COIs) in volume-outcome studies investigating whether higher hospital volume is associated with better patient outcomes.We used a sample of studies (n = 68) included in a systematic review on the hospital volume-outcome relationship in total knee arthroplasty.
