Wonderful new paper on serious problems with standard confidence interval for a probability. Why are we still using it as opposed to the Wilson interval (or better: Bayes) tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

📢NEW PAPER "Calculating the power of a planned individual participant data meta-analysis of randomised trials to examine a treatment-covariate interaction with a time-to-event outcome" with Gary Collins Joie Ensor Miriam Hattle Rebecca Whittle open access: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jr…

Excited to be part of this work, providing a neat extension to the FP models in NMA while properly accounting for observed and censored data in survival outcomes 🤓 'Learning' about the censoring mechanism could be a valuable insight for designing future trials

Excited to see this guidance with brilliant co-authors being published :) An often debated topic where no method is a panacea, and context matters🤓

Just published: "Two‐stage or not two‐stage? That is the question for IPD meta‐analysis projects" - some claims pro 1-stage approach are misleading - 2-stage will often suffice unless data sparse - here we provide guidance for a broad audience onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jr…

Do you know what standardised mean differences are, when they should be used, and how to correctly compute and interpret them in meta-analysis? No worries, read our new open hands-on tutorial in @cochranemthds. Paper with interactive content: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ce…

Fresh from the press ! Our empirical study on ~700 NMAs revealed that the transitivity assumption and its evaluation remain elusive to most NMA users. To complement existing guidance, we propose a set of criteria to report and evaluate transitivity and thus gauge NMA feasibility

A recently published article addresses key challenges in NMA and highlights how intransitivity is more common than expected and how traditional statistical tests often fail to provide reliable conclusions for transitivity evaluation. bmcmedresmethodol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Thrilled to see this paper out ✨ We present a novel framework to *quantitatively* assess transitivity in NMAs, using clustering approaches and inituitive visualisations via heatmaps. A step towards more robust indirect comparisons 📊🔍 Open access here: lnkd.in/gMJtF6Kc
