An encouraging assessment of methods to inform priorities for updating systematic reviews

“…While full details of the included systematic reviews are available elsewhere, (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23) a brief description of the topic of each review is provided in the second column of Table 1.…”

“…Secondly, we consider the review of drugs for treating tapeworm infection of the brain (20) which was ranked 11 and 12 by the Barrowman n and simulation approaches respectively but (unpredictably) produced a statistically significant result when updated. The meta-analysis on which calculations were based, with one study removed is displayed in figure 2a.…”
