Research in Practice 03 - How study results and uncertainty vary This authentic coupled forest plot from a previously completed diagnostic-accuracy review displays nine sensitivity and specificity estimates with 95% confidence intervals. It also retains each study's TP, FP, FN and TN counts. Sensi…

Research in Practice 02 - How risk of bias and applicability are assessed This authentic QUADAS-2 figure from a previously completed diagnostic-accuracy review records judgements across four risk-of-bias domains and three applicability domains. No study was low risk across every bias domain, and s…

Submitting the form is n…

Campaign 1 — Expression of Interest Two diagnostic-accuracy systematic reviews are open to EOIs from international medical graduates and residency applicants: Cardiology: AI-enabled digital stethoscope versus unaided clinician auscultation for significant left-sided valvular heart disease. Gastro…

Global Evidence Synthesis Collaborative GESC develops structured evidence-synthesis projects and practical research education for clinicians and researchers. Our work is organised around transparent methodological roles, contribution-based authorship, research integrity and accountability, and res…
