Bias Methods Group open meeting 2020 - virtual edition

Re-posted on 7 October 2020, by Froeks Kamminga (Methods Liaison Officer) from the Bias Methods Group web pages.

Due to the postponement of the 2020 Cochrane Colloquium in Toronto, the annual Bias Methods Group meeting will be a virtual meeting.

At this meeting, we will launch a testing version of ROB-ME (Risk Of Bias due to Missing Evidence), a new tool for assessing risk of non-reporting biases in evidence syntheses. Further, we will provide a short overview of the groups’ activities as well as give updates on important methodological projects, including a tool for addressing conflicts of interest in randomised trials (TACIT), the revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomised trials (RoB 2), and a living network meta-analysis on COVID-19 trials.

Presenters include convenors of the Bias Methods Group: Isabelle Boutron, Julian Higgins, Asbjørn Hróbjartsson, and Matthew Page.

Please join us for updates on important methodological developments and interesting discussions.

The meetings are open for everyone interested.

We have planned two meetings to accommodate different time zones. They will be held through Zoom:
