A new taxonomy was developed for overlap across 'overviews of systematic reviews': A meta ‐research study of research waste
AbstractMultiple ‘overviews of reviews’ conducted on the same topic (“overlapping overviews”) represent a waste of research resources and can confuse clinicians making decisions amongst competing treatments. We aimed to assess the frequency and characteristics of overlapping overviews. MEDLINE, Epistemonikos and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were searched for overviews that: synthesized reviews of health interventions and conducted systematic searches. Overlap was defined as: duplication of PICO eligibility criteria, and not reported as an update nor a replication. We categorized overview top ics accordin...

Predicting personalised absolute treatment effects in individual participant data meta ‐analysis: an introduction to splines
ConclusionWe provide guidance on the use of splines in IPD-MA, to capture heterogeneous treatment effects in presence of non-linear associations, thereby facilitating estimation of absolute treatment effects to enhance personalized healthcare. (Source: Research Synthesis Methods)

A new taxonomy was developed for overlap across ‘Overviews of systematic reviews’: a meta‐research study of research waste
ConclusionsOne third of overviews overlapped in content and a majority covered broad topic areas. A multiplicity of overviews on the same topic adds to the ongoing waste of research resources, time and effort across medical disciplines. Authors of overviews can use this study and the sample of overviews to identify gaps in the evidence for future analysis, and topics that are already studied which do not need to be duplicated.
