Researchers’ decisions about whether, when, how or where to report studies or results are often influenced by the P value, magnitude or direction of the study results (‘non-reporting biases’).

There are many methods available to fit random-effects meta-analysis.

The new Cochrane review format includes headings for describing how authors will consider health equity.

As Cochrane abstracts are often the only part of a Cochrane review that people read, it is important they can be read as stand alone documents.

Cochrane authors: do you have questions about putting together your Summary of Findings tables? Cochrane Methods are launching a new series of Q&A sessions led by Professor Holger Schünemann from the Cochrane GRADEing Group. Questions relating to the structure and content of Summary of Findings tables, or to GRADE methods can be submitted in advance and will be discussed during the session. The first session will be held on October 23rd 2024 at 3.30pm London time.

Sign-up is now open for the next Methods Support Unit web clinic presented by Lindsay Robertson, which will be held on Wednesday 4th September at 8am UTC. As Cochrane abstracts are often the only part of a Cochrane review that people read, it is important they can be read as stand alone documents. In this web clinic, Lindsay will cover the general principles of writing an abstract that is clear, easy to understand, and translate.
