Summary of Findings | From 200 included systematic reviews randomly sampled from rehabilitation journals between 2011 and 2020 indexed under the “rehabilitation” category in the InCites database. The mean overall PRISMA adherence across the 200 included reviews was 61.4%. Regression analyses show that having a high overall risk of bias was a significant predictor of lower adherence (B=-7.1%; 95%CI -12.1, -2.0). Studies published in fourth quartile journals displayed a lower overall adherence (B= -7.2%; 95%CI -13.2, -1.3) than those published in first quartile journals; the overall adherence increased (B= 11.9%; 95%CI 5.9, 18.0) if the systematic review protocol was registered. |
