🎁 Bonus: we provide a template for data extraction — one of the most challenging parts of any meta-analysis.

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!

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

CADIMA

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.

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!

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.

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 🙇
http://www.robertgrantstats.co.uk/bma-book.html

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: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-540-68651-4_7

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.

Working on a #SystematicReview and #metaanalysis 🌪️
I have a basic problem with 'esc' package

When I want convert (un)standardized beta to r, I can't use vectors with esc_beta or esc_B , but it is ok if I convert beta in d or g.

I want convert numerous Beta in r.

Ideas ? :rickroll:

Serious question: why would someone *want* to do an #EvidenceSynthesis project - #ScopingReview, #SystematicReview, #RapidReview, whatever - without writing a good protocol?
You're going to have to write up the methods *eventually* so why not do it now as you are starting, and get all the project management/clear communication benefits?
