Assessing the quality of reports of randomized clinical trials : is blinding necessary?

TL;DR: An instrument to assess the quality of reports of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) in pain research is described and its use to determine the effect of rater blinding on the assessments of quality is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Publication and related bias in meta-analysis : power of statistical tests and prevalence in the literature

TL;DR: Tests for small-study effects should routinely be performed in meta-analysis, particularly for moderate amounts of bias or meta-analyses based on a small number of small studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Size is everything – large amounts of information are needed to overcome random effects in estimating direction and magnitude of treatment effects

TL;DR: It is contended that much of the variability in control and experimental event rates is due to random chance alone, and that if trials are small their estimate of magnitude of effect may be incorrect, simply because of the random play of chance.
Journal Article

Size is everything--large amounts of information are needed to overcome random effects in estimating direction and magnitude of treatment effects.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the main cause of the variability may be random chance, and that if trials are small their estimate of magnitude of effect may be incorrect, simply because of the random play of chance.
