Monday, April 30, 2007The methods session of the paper is no more open than the conflict of interest statement. We are told that “Interested readers can obtain the detailed protocol for this review from the corresponding author.” That’s right; you have to email the authors to get the search strategy. It would appear, though, that the search strategy was not predetermined; rather, it was “iterative”, almost as if they made it up as they went along. Then they culled the list of retrieved citations down from 4923 down to 38. We’re not told exactly how this was done or by whom, but it appears to have been a complicated procedure, and to the reader it’s somewhat mysterious. There's more. posted by Sydney on 4/30/2007 07:51:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
