Problem(s) |
Multiplicity of outcomes and lack of pre-specification for outcome reporting Unplanned or unjustified subgroup or sensitivity analyses |
Number of systematic reviews included | 64 |
Summary of Findings | Eight categories (from 27 examples) of selective inclusion in systematic reviews, and eight categories (from 33 examples) of selective reporting in systematic reviews were collated. These describe scenarios in which multiple outcomes or multiple data for the same outcome are available, yet only a subset is included or reported; outcome data are reported with inadequate detail; or outcome data are given different prominence through its placement across or within reports. |
