How can these methodological considerations impact the reliability of drawn conclusions and their relevance to cancer research and treatment?
I am currently exploring the realm of meta-analyses and am in the process of seeking guidelines that can assist me in structuring a more robust study. As a newcomer to this area, I am keen on understanding the best practices and methodological considerations to ensure the effectiveness and validity of my research. Any insights or recommendations in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
I recommend checking out reviews by Cochrane Haematology or other Cochrane cancer groups (e.g here https://breastcancer.cochrane.org/news/our-most-cited-reviews). It´s always a good idea to involve practitioners and patients, for example, to identify relevant outcomes.
Thank you very much Marike. Indeed, I am currently enrolled in a course focused on reviews and meta-analysis, and I have recently become acquainted with Cochrane. Its remarkable contributions are truly impressive.
