What a wonderful conference! Thank you to the organisers and participants. It was truly inspiring. #metaanalysis #systematicreview #evidencesynthesis #ESMARConf2025
"There are 14 competing standards..." "We need ONE universal one!" (Soon: 15 competing standards)
Grateful to the #ESMARConf2025 team:
@ryanfield.me Rafael José Vieira,
@nealhaddaway.bsky.social @drmattg.bsky.social for letting me present my PhD plan for comments 🎥 youtu.be/enm8QvwCeWg?....

So many interesting presentations, workshops and panels at #ESMARConf2025! Thank you @eshackathon.bsky.social for bringing everyone together for 3 great days of #EvidenceSynthesis!
@ellaflem.bsky.social describes how we all have a role to play in developing and using responsible AI in #Evidence synthesis. Excited to see how the work of the Joint AI methods group evolves! #ESMARConf2025

Very thought-provoking keynote from yesterday at #ESMARConf2025. Here's the link if you missed it

Looking forward to hearing more about RAISE today! #ESMARConf2025
Great discussion about the use of AI in Systematic Reviews at #ESMARConf2025 yesterday. AI should not be assessed in isolation of human reviewers as there will be a need for a human-in-the-loop for the forseeable future. www.youtube.com/live/GO8BwSI... @eshackathon.bsky.social

Screenshot with the words: We no longer worry about being too skeptical, we worry that we are not skeptical enough.
Wery thoughtful quote in today’s keynote “Fixing our broken science-policy pipelines: Evidence-Based X” by Gavin Stewart #ESMARConf2025 @eshackathon.bsky.social
Screenshot of a presentation with the words: Meta-analyses are powerful, but only if done properly. Unfortunately… poor quality is the norm
Unfortunately, most meta-analysis are of poor quality. Keynote by @asanchez-tojar.bsky.social at #ESMARConf2025.

Curious about teaching meta-analysis?🤨
Catch my talk about how my approach to #teaching this tool has changed throughout the years #ESMARConf2025 #youtube #synthesis
Starting at 05:00 AM EDT on:

Lena Schmidt discusses why do we need to randomise and split data and she introduces the 🎲RefRandomiser tool which was developed in the 2025 Evidence Synthesis Hackathon in London @eshackathon.bsky.social #ESMARConf2025 www.youtube.com/live/IKmak-m...
It was an excellent presentation!

1/3 #ESMARConf2025 Really enjoyed today's talks & @asanchez-tojar.bsky.social keynote! Interesting that few ecology & evolution meta-analyses assess risk of bias. @aspullin.bsky.social found similar gaps in #Environmental reviews.

![Screenshot of a slide titled "Subgrouping" from a meta-analysis presentation. The slide displays a forest plot showing individual study risk ratios with 95% confidence intervals, grouped by whether the study used random allocation ("yes" or "no"). Each study is listed with author(s) and year in the leftmost column, followed by a "Random" column indicating randomization, and a "Risk Ratio [95% CI]" column with horizontal bars for each study. At the bottom, two pooled estimates are shown: one for non-random allocation (risk ratio = 0.62 [0.40, 0.95]) and one for random allocation (risk ratio = 0.38 [0.22, 0.65]), each with a corresponding 95% predictive distribution interval displayed as a shaded curve. A speaker (Wolfgang Viechtbauer) is visible in the upper right corner of the screenshot.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jtlwlnekn5al2tqmudrtcapq/bafkreic3o32po36icfaw3k3qqogrl4tpml2ukb4ynpayjhziereda3w3bu)

From @wviechtb.bsky.social talk @ #ESMARConf2025 on showing heterogeneity in meta-analysis. Learned that 95% prediction interval can be visualized in a {metafor} forest plot using predictive distributions. I find it especially useful for illustrating subgroup differences! #RStats
⏰ Join us at tomorrow at 10 am EDT for our online intro workshop! Come learn more about CEE and our #Evidence services. #ESMARConf2025

Planning to do a systematic review?
Do watch this very informative presentation first!
Julian Higgins talks about improper use of:
PRISMA reporting guideline
I-squared statistics
Test for asymmetry in funnel plots
Random effects model

Lil intro to our early-stage rayyanR R package, from the first day of #ESMARConf2025 (youtu.be/dmcTZ-0eC18?...). Please beta test it and find its inevitable bugs/missing features so I can fix them/incorporate them (you can help us if you like!) 🙏

I love auto translations. "The Tasmanian-led approach to random-effects meta-analysis". 😕 Didn't know that there was a Tasmanian school for meta-analysis! Learning something new every day. #ESMARConf2025
Cite Source - Great tool for assisting in the development of a search string as well as to evaluate the contribution of different databases and other search methods on the final set of included papers in systematic review. #ESMARconf2025 #medlibs #sysrev

Super interesting talk by James Pustejovsky (@jepusto.bsky.social) and Martyna Citkowicz at #ESMARConf2025 on the metaselection package, which provides cluster-robust inference methods and clustered bootstrapping to account for dependencies in selection models: youtu.be/2qGcVeEqtBY
Happening soon! Join CEE UK's @nicolaprandall.bsky.social and other panelists at #ESMARConf2025 to learn about #EvidenceSynthesis capacity building in the agri-food sector! @eshackathon.bsky.social

#ESMARConf2025 is live (www.youtube.com/@esmarconf), starting with a talk by @asanchez-tojar.bsky.social on "Practising what we preach: Rethinking standards in meta-analysis for ecology and evolution". At 11am CEST, I will give a talk on how to visualize the amount of heterogeneity in forest plots.
Super excited to be presenting on the responsible AI use in evidence synthesis (RAISE) recommendations & guidance this week at #ESMARConf2025 🙌 Come join us!
Full details on RAISE here osf.io/fwaud/
On Thursday evening during my weekly live stream on R and statistics, I will do something meta-analysis related in connection with #ESMARConf2025. Further details about my live streams can be found here: www.wvbauer.com/doku.php/liv...
Just a reminder that #ESMARConf2025 is starting tomorrow! This is a free online conference about evidence synthesis and meta-analysis using #Rstats. Further details can be found here: esmarconf.org/2025/
CEE will be at #ESMARConf2025 this week! Join our virtual workshop to learning more about our mission and the #EvidenceSynthesis services & tools we offer! 🌎 🧪
