  1. Here's a fun one for #EvidenceSynthesis / #SystematicReview crowd 📚

    @ZijunLi and me are doing a meta-analysis where we compare two groups.

    We use the "Cohen's d" family of effect size metrics for the meta-analysis (comparing baseline to follow-up, immediate and later)

    Some studies (e.g. smoking interventions) only report a percentage in each arm (e.g. % of smokers).

    How to best convert these percentages into smth Cohen's d-ish? 🤔

    We appreciate any help / boosting!

  3. Does anyone have experience with CADIMA for screening articles? www.cadima.info I’d be interested in hearing thoughts, especially if you can compare it to rayyan #evidencesynthesis #systematicreview

  4. Can #AI handle abstract screening for a #systematicReview?

    Li et al. tested #ChatGPT, #PaLM, #Llama, #Claude, and various techniques on 3 datasets.

    #GPT4 was consistently at least 90% accurate (vs gold standard) with balanced sensitivity & specificity.

  6. From June 2025:

    I don't trust large language model (#LLM) AIs: They're trained to sound plausible without regard for accuracy, ie, generate bullshit.

    If you can handle that "spicy" description, please read this essay by @researchfairy, describing how LLMs can be used to deliberately weaponize #SystematicReview articles. Want a topic review that will completely plausibly support your controversial viewpoint? Say, you want to support raw milk or decry #vaccination ?

  8. Thrilled to announce that @shreyadimri and I will be part of #LoveMethods26! 🎉

    We'll be running a session on "How to avoid common problems when doing a #systematicReview and #MetaAnalysis", sharing practical tips for conducting reproducible & transparent evidence syntheses

    Love Methods Week (January 19–23, 2026) is a FREE online event where researchers come together to learn & share open, reusable methods. There's something for everyone!

  11. Another #PeerReview done.

    Manuscript c3,000 words
    Review c2,300 words
    2hrs 45min

    This was overall enjoyable as it was a paper about two methods I use frequently as well as in a content area I work in. Looked up some new papers. Got time to think about stuff I work on.

    One key point: one needs to be clear about the type of review one is doing and why this is the most appropriate way for the research question.

  12. Busy week, I have not much posted from #RSS2025. This will follow in the next days.

    For now, I enjoyed chatting with Robert Grant and am reading his co-authored book "Bayesian #MetaAnalysis" which he kindly gave me a copy of 🙇
    robertgrantstats.co.uk/bma-boo

    I am always looking combinations of unusual and cross-cutting themes for teaching/ training, so I'll do a parallel read with #MixtureModels in this area: link.springer.com/chapter/10.1

  15. Just finished a highly productive two-hour meeting with our volunteer scientists, despite it being Easter. What a phenomenal group of people to work with! We cannot thank you enough for your contributions!

  17. When we talk about grey literature, do we also consider grey information and grey data? I usually define it as conference papers, dissertations, and preprints only.

    A worthwhile read on this topic: doi.org/10.1186/s13643-016-033

  19. In 1993, H. Schwabl published in @PNASNews a seminal paper: “Yolk [as] a source of maternal testosterone for developing birds”

    This was the first study proposing a link between maternal egg hormones and fitness.

    Our preregistered #systematicreview & #metaanalysis in Ecology Letters synthesises 438 effects from 57 studies on 19 wild 🐦species to test if & how egg hormones relate to fitness

  21. What a week talking all meta!!!

    Thank you to @physaliacourses2 for inviting us to give a 5-day (20h) workshop, to the 20 magnificent participants worldwide for their insightful questions and positive vibes, and to @shreyadimri for her invaluable support! #metaanalysis #systematicreview

  22. @DeutscherBildungsserver Im #Schulportal gibt es auch eine Rezension zur zweiten Auflage der 2009 erschienenen #Hattie-Studie - „Visible Learning 2.0“ ist 2024 erschienen. Aus 138 Einflussfaktoren sind 357 geworden. Auch die Zahl der Metanalysen ist auf über 2.100 gestiegen. Insgesamt sind die Ergebnisse von 130.000 Studien in die Neuauflage eingeflossen.

  23. Happy to share our new #preprint—the first-ever #SystematicReview on global catastrophic risk. 🌍

    We explores the growing field of #GlobalCatastrophicRisk and #ExistentialRisk, which focus on global threats like #NuclearWar. This bibliometric analysis shows how the field has expanded and diversified over the past 20 years and has made substantial contributions to understanding and preparing for #humanity's biggest risks.

    Examples of paths for #FakeScience to manipulate evidence (in future, potentially, maybe even in a deliberate malicious way): their impact on #SystematicReview studies [7]

    There is "a growing number of systematic review authors who have lost faith in the evidence base they depend on".

    "The size of the problem is not clear, but a manuscript posted to the Center for Open Science’s OSF preprint server in September suggests up to one in seven published papers are fabricated or falsified"

  25. Our preregistered #systematicreview & #metaanalysis, led by L. Mentesana, synthesizes 443 effects from 57 studies across 19 wild 🐦 species to test the extent to which an increase in🥚hormones relates to fitness

  26. I am on a roll today. Don't write: "We searched in two databases: PubMed and Web of Science." WoS is not a database but a platform for accessing multiple databases. The one typically used is the Core Collection. But one can also search MEDLINE via WoS, which is (almost) the same as PubMed. So specify which database(s) you searched via WoS (e.g., "We searched PubMed and the Web of Science Core Collection").
