Did you know that in a true random sample (sample size 530) of all #systematicreview from 2021 (37,189) taken from www.ksrevidence.com, 30.8% of #systematicreviews failed to meet criterion ROBIS 4.6: Were biases in primary studies minimal or addressed in the synthesis?
Did you know that in a true random sample (sample size 530) of all systematic reviews from 2021 (37,189) taken from www.ksrevidence.com, 21.6% failed either ROBIS domain questions 4.3 or 4.4? That means that more than 1/5 of all meta-analyses were considered inappropriate!
