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.

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 healthcare 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 ...
