Generating credible evidence for health care decision making: advancing methods for evidence synthesis and meta-analysis

系统审查往往是指南中建议的基础，因此对于将研究证据转化为实践至关重要。然而，在进行审查方面的弱点可能会产生有偏见的结果，这可能会导致患者接受无效或有害的治疗。在我担任研究员期间，我将开发和评估新的方法，以评估和调整审查中的偏见，以提高做出关于医疗保健的明智选择所需证据的可信度。

Systematic reviews often underpin recommendations in guidelines and are therefore critical to the translation of research evidence into practice. However, weaknesses in the conduct of reviews can yield biased results, which may lead to patients receiving ineffective or harmful treatments. During my fellowship I will develop and evaluate novel methods to assess and adjust for bias in reviews, to improve the credibility of evidence needed to make well-informed choices about health care.
