Should studies with no events in both arms be excluded in evidence synthesis?

Chang Xu et al.

Summary: The study found that including double-zero studies in meta-analysis significantly improved performance compared to excluding them. Using continuity correction and the IVhet model can effectively address the issue of double-zero studies, especially when the proportion of such studies is large.

Factors that impact fragility index and their visualizations

Lifeng Lin

Summary: The fragility index (FI) is a measure used to assess the robustness of clinical study results, defined as the minimum number of event status modifications that can alter a study result's statistical significance. While the FI has limitations in certain settings, it has been widely applied across various specialties due to its intuitive concept.

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.

Meta-analysis of rare adverse events in randomized clinical trials: Bayesian and frequentist methods

Hwanhee Hong et al.

Summary: In the evaluation of medical products' safety, meta-analysis plays a crucial role and outperforms single randomized controlled trials in estimating adverse event rates. Different meta-analysis models display varying performance, with the beta hyperprior method showing the best results in rare event settings. It is important to consider between-study heterogeneity and compare model performance to obtain reliable treatment effect estimates.

A proposed framework to guide evidence synthesis practice for meta-analysis with zero-events studies

Chang Xu et al.

Summary: Researchers often struggle with how to handle zero-events in evidence synthesis, as improper handling can lead to research waste and misguidance in healthcare practice. This study proposes a framework to guide researchers in better dealing with zero-events in meta-analysis, classifying different types of zero-events studies and providing applicable methods under each subtype.
