Rapid reviews methods series: Guidance on team considerations, study selection, data extraction and risk of bias assessment

Barbara Nussbaumer-Streit et al.

Summary: This paper is part of a series of methodological guidance from the Cochrane Rapid Reviews Methods Group (RRMG). It discusses considerations around the acceleration of study selection, data extraction and risk of bias assessment in rapid reviews (RRs). The paper suggests methodological shortcuts such as dual screening at the title/abstract level, single data extraction on relevant data points, and single risk of bias assessment on important outcomes with verification by a second person.

Rapid reviews methods series: Guidance on assessing the certainty of evidence

Gerald Gartlehner et al.

Summary: This paper is a part of a series of methodological guidance provided by the Cochrane Rapid Reviews Methods Group, which explains that rapid reviews (RRs) are designed to speed up the review process while maintaining systematic and transparent methods. The paper focuses on considerations for rating the certainty of evidence (COE) in RRs and provides recommendations for the implementation of GRADE. It also suggests alternative approaches for rating COE if full implementation of GRADE is not feasible.

Rapid reviews methods series: Guidance on literature search

Irma Klerings et al.

Summary: This paper discusses considerations for conducting rapid reviews (RR), including steps for preparation, planning, information sources, search methods, strategy development, quality assurance, reporting, and record management. To reduce the workload of literature screening, it is recommended to invest time in planning and optimizing the search process, work with an information specialist, select relevant information sources, and use search methods that are likely to identify relevant literature. Quality assurance measures such as peer review and validation of search strategies should be applied to minimize errors.

Methodological guidance for incorporating equity when informing rapid-policy and guideline development

Omar Dewidar et al.

Summary: This article provides guidance for considering equity in rapid reviews, using examples from published COVID-19 rapid reviews. By involving relevant stakeholders, reflecting on team values and composition, and developing research questions, among other key steps, equity considerations in rapid reviews can be improved, helping policymakers better understand the distributional impact of diseases on populations.

Cochrane Rapid Reviews Methods Group offers evidence-informed guidance to conduct rapid reviews

Chantelle Garritty et al.

Summary: The study aims to develop guidance to support the conduct of rapid reviews, with 26 recommendations presented based on survey results. These recommendations will help synthesize evidence for urgent health issues, but the guidance will need to be updated as new evaluations for some RR methods are conducted due to the current lack of available evidence.
