- A bias can be introduced in a study at any stage of the process – from formulating the research question, establishing the eligibility criteria for inclusion and exclusion of primary studies, reviewing collected resources, to choosing which findings to publish.

May 16, 2016 · It is important to be mindful of introducing bias, as preconceived ideas about your subject area, whether intentional or not, can affect all stages of writing a literature review, from identifying literature sources, selecting articles to include and your evaluation of the evidence.

Understanding research bias allows readers to critically and independently review the scientific literature and avoid treatments which are suboptimal or potentially harmful. A thorough understanding of bias and how it affects study results is essential for the practice of evidence-based medicine.

Dec 14, 2017 · Here, I outline the reasons for my concern and reflect on whether the growing tendency of qualitative researchers trying to manage “bias” in their work is due to the increasing pressure to demonstrate research outputs lead to quantifiable impact.

Cochrane Reviews seek to minimize bias. We define bias as a systematic error, or deviation from the truth, in results. Biases can lead to under-estimation or over-estimation of the true intervention effect and can vary in magnitude: some are small (and trivial compared with the observed effect) and some are substantial (so that an apparent finding ...
Where possible, assessments of risk of bias in a systematic review should be informed by evidence. The following sections summarize some of the key evidence about bias that informs our guidance on risk-of-bias assessments in Cochrane Reviews.
7.3.1 Collecting information for assessment of risk of bias#section-7-3-1
Information for assessing the risk of bias can be found in several sources, including published articles, trials registers, protocols, clinical study reports (i.e. documents prepared by pharmaceutical companies, which provide extensive detail on trial methods and results), and regulatory reviews (see also Chapter 5, Section 5.2). Published articles are the most frequently used source of information for assessing risk of bias. This source is theoretically very valuable because it has been revi...
7.3.2 Performing assessments of risk of bias #section-7-3-2
Risk-of-bias assessments in Cochrane Reviews should be performed independently by at least two people (MECIR Box 7.3.a). Doing so can minimize errors in assessments and ensure that the judgement is not influenced by a single person’s preconceptions. Review authors should also define in advance the process for resolving disagreements. For example, both assessors may attempt to resolve disagreements via discussion, and if that fails, call on another author to adjudicate the final judgement. Rev...
Risk-of-bias assessments may be presented in a Cochrane Review in various ways. A full risk-of-bias table includes responses to each signalling question within each domain (see Chapter 8, Section 8.2) and risk-of-bias judgements, along with text to support each judgement. Such full tables are lengthy and are unlikely to be of great interest to read...
Review authors should make explicit summary judgements about the risk of bias for important results both within studies and across studies (see MECIR Box 7.5.a). The tools currently recommended by Cochrane for assessing risk of bias within included studies (RoB 2 and ROBINS-I) produce an overall judgement of risk of bias for the result being assess...
7.6.1 Introduction#section-7-6-1
When performing and presenting meta-analyses, review authors should address risk of bias in the results of included studies (MECIR Box 7.6.a). It is not appropriate to present analyses and interpretations while ignoring flaws identified during the assessment of risk of bias. In this section we present suitable strategies for addressing risk of bias in results from studies included in a meta-analysis, either in order to understand the impact of bias or to determine a suitable estimate of inter...
7.6.2 Including risk-of-bias assessments in analyses#section-7-6-2
Broadly speaking, studies at high risk of bias should be given reduced weight in meta-analyses compared with studies at low risk of bias. However, methodological approaches for weighting studies according to their risk of bias are not sufficiently well developed that they can currently be recommended for use in Cochrane Reviews. When risks of bias vary across studies in a meta-analysis, four broad strategies are available to incorporate assessments into the analysis. The choice of strategy wi...
The 2011 Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials encouraged a study-level judgement about whether there has been selective reporting, in general, of the trial results. As noted in Section 7.2.3.3, selective reporting can arise in several ways: (1) selective non-reporting of results, where results for some of the analysed outcomes are selec...

Feb 20, 2019 · Abstract. Various types of bias and confounding have been described in the biomedical literature that can affect a study before, during, or after the intervention has been delivered. The peer review process can also introduce bias. A compelling ethical and moral rationale necessitates improving the peer review process.
Steps of a Cochrane review 1. define the question 2. plan eligibility criteria 3. plan methods 4. search for studies 5. apply eligibility criteria 6. collect data 7. assess studies for risk of bias 8. analyse and present results 9. interpret results and draw conclusions 10. improve and update review
