Great sharing. Thanks for all!

Nice framework! This is what we were looking for when investigating the reporting of COI in guidelines.

Campbell is recruiting for the position of Chief Executive Officer. This is a great opportunity to help lever evidence to make the world a better place. More info at: campbellcollaboration.org/news-and-event…. I am the Chair of the Board of Campbell and happy to discuss with anyone interested.

Nice poster 💐

Experts too ready to assume treatments resulting in positive changes to surrogates result in benefits in patient-important outcomes for which they’re standing in. Remarkably often, they don’t. Great example: asymptomatic vs symptomatic deep vein thrombosis doi.org/10.1160/th14-1…

By neglecting missing data systematic reviews may be providing substantially biased results. Study of 100 reviews reporting significant effects: over 20% lost statistical significance in sensitivity analyses making plausible assumptions about missing data. doi.org/10.1136/bmj.m2…

Older Infant-Young Child “Formulas” publications.aap.org/pediatrics/art… Spoiler and not surprising statement: “These formulas have no specific role in routine care of healthy children and are more expensive than cow milk”

We found differences between GRADE and CINEMA for rating the certainty of evidence (CoE) of a network meta-analysis, with CINEMA often providing lower CoE ratings: doi.org/10.1016/j.jcli…

Landmark paper shows how we are going terribly wrong by using language of association when we are actually interested in causation & often mixing up the two.  Clarity of thinking in our purpose, & use language consistent with purpose, would be big advance. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35483551/

Excited to have collaborated on the PRO-EDI tool with Trial Forge, Evidence Synthesis Ireland, Cochrane Ireland and The Campbell Collaboration! 🌟 This tool enhances equity, diversity, and inclusion in systematic reviews. Check out free resources & share your feedback: buff.ly/3wgPA8q

The most simple, straightforward, easy to understand explanation of fixed effect and random effect models appears in an unexpected place. dx.doi.org/10.1097/cm9.00…

As instrument for assessing clinical practice guideline quality AGREE 2 has major limitations including complexity and burden. NEATS more straightforward, but limitations of clarity. Just published NEATS modification much improved. doi.org/10.1002/gin2.1…

🚨 New Clinical Guidelines Alert 🚨 A major review recommends against commonly used interventional procedures like epidural injections, nerve blocks & ablations for chronic spine pain Why? ❌ Similar benefits to sham, potential risks, & high costs bmj.com/content/388/bm…

Spine injections should not be given to adults with chronic back pain because they provide little or no pain relief compared with sham injections, say a panel of international experts in this recommendation. Includes a #BMJInfographic bit.ly/4b5qMjw

Our NMA on common interventional procedures for chronic non-cancer spine pain is out in The BMJ! Great work led by Xiaoqin Wang & Jason Busse bmj.com/content/388/bm… An example of rigorous NMA, crucial to inform guidelines (available here: bmj.com/content/388/bm… )

As previous post, #EBM has a breakthrough! #GRADE has become too complex and disorganized. Solution in 7 papers on GRADE essentials “Core GRADE” in #BMJ, introduced this week. Here link is to a two minute video summarizing the introductory paper. youtube.com/watch?v=95vGef…

The #EBM and #GRADE breakthrough continues. This week in the #BMJ the second in a series of 7 papers describing Core GRADE, the complete package of essentials for applying GRADE. This week choosing the target of certainty rating and addressing #imprecision.
