In network #MetaAnalysis (NMA) sparse networks sometimes yield bizarrely wide #ConfidenceIntervals. The solution we discovered after trying many alternatives perhaps surprising: switch from random effects to fixed effect.

Poster for the seminar: MetaInsight v7: Making a comprehensive app for network meta analysis reproducible
I’m giving a seminar on 20th April about refactoring crsu.shinyapps.io/MetaInsight/ to use {shinyscholar}, producing crsu.shinyapps.io/MetaInsight_... Details and sign up: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/crsu-webin... A shorter version is also coming to R/Medicine in May

Lower risk of cognitive impairment & dementia linked to adherence to plant-based diets, particularly those rich in healthful plant foods, a new meta-analysis suggests: doi.org/10.1016/j.tj... #Dementia #Health #Nutrition #PlantBased #Diets #MetaAnalysis
I spent about 20 hours in the last week writing, from scratch, matlab code to run simple #metaanalysis. I had to search for the original #stats papers, browse Cochran manuals & try to understand R/CRAN stuff.
The code already exists in R (JASP, Jamovi, etc) & likely in Matlab, so why not use 'AI'?

A Risk of Bias assessment from a published meta-analysis. Table shows 30 studies rated on 10 criteria as 'Yes', 'Uncertain', or 'No'. The overall bias rating is taken as the worst rating across all criteria per study, so a single 'No' rating gives the study a 'High' bias. This particular meta-analysis rated all 30 studies as 'High bias'. So this exercise does not help differentiate between studies.
In #SystematicReview & #MetaAnalysis authors often do #RiskOfBias (RoB) assessments, quantifying whether included studies are 'biased'
Studies may be rated on multiple criteria as Low/Moderate/High bias. The overall RoB may then be the *maximum* level per study
This can produce tables like this:
