The value of qualitative evidence synthesis for informing healthcare policy and practice within evidence-based medicine is increasingly recognised. However, there is a lack of consensus regarding how to judge the methodological quality of qualitative studies being synthesised and debates around the extent to which such assessment is possible and appropriate. The Critical Appraisal Skills Programme…

Causal survival analysis: A guide to estimating intention-to-treat and per-protocol effects from randomized clinical trials with non-adherence

Eleanor J. Murray, Ellen C. Caniglia, Lucia C. Petito · 8 Oct 2020

When reporting results from randomized experiments, researchers often choose to present a per-protocol effect in addition to an intention-to-treat effect. However, these per-protocol effects are often described retrospectively, for example, comparing outcomes among individuals who adhered to their assigned treatment strategy throughout the study. This retrospective definition of a per-protocol effect is often confounded and…

R-Squared (R <sup>2</sup> ) – How much variation is explained?

Jian Gao · 2 Dec 2023

Linear regression is a simple yet powerful tool that has been extensively used in all fields where the relationships among variables are of interest. When linear regression is applied, the coefficient of determination or R-squared ( R 2 ) is commonly reported as a metric gauging the model’s goodness of fit. Despite its wide usage,…

Expanding hermeneutic horizons: Working as multiple researchers and with multiple participants

Jane Montague, Eleanor Phillips, Fiona Holland et al. · 10 Aug 2020

The double hermeneutic is a central feature of interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). Typically, this has been considered in relation to individual researchers working with experiential accounts from individual participants. IPA has, however, frequently been applied by multiple researchers; a further layer of complexity occurs when individual or multiple researchers analyse data from group interactions. Little…

Envelope use and reporting in randomised controlled trials: A guide for researchers

Laura Clark, Alexandra Dean, Alex Mitchell et al. · 13 Oct 2020

Introduction To produce robust evidence RCTs need to be rigorously conducted as poorly performed studies introduce bias and can mislead clinicians and policy makers. Poor allocation concealment has the largest single impact on bias in RCTs than other methodological aspects. Envelopes are frequently used as a method of allocation concealment and can be associated with…
