Assessing risk of bias in human environmental epidemiology studies using three tools: different conclusions from different tools

ConclusionsTools that use overall ROB or study quality ratings, such as IRIS and TSCA, may reduce the available evidence to assess the harms of environmental exposures by erroneously excluding studies, which leads to inaccurate conclusions about the quality of the body of evidence. We recommend using ROB tools that circumvents these issues, such as OHAT and Navigation Guide.Systematic review registrationThis review has not been registered as it is not a systematic review.
