TL;DR: Single-reviewer abstract screening does not appear to fulfill the high methodological standards that decisionmakers expect from systematic reviews, but it may be a viable option for rapid reviews, which deliberately lower methodological standards to provide decisionmakers with accelerated evidence synthesis products.

TL;DR: This work explores linear models and compares different estimation methods, such as maximum likelihood and the Lasso with and without randomized response, and evaluates via simulations the performance of using the predicted individual treatment effect to identify subgroups where a novel treatment leads to better outcomes compared to a control treatment.

TL;DR: LLTS of the greater auricular nerve may be a potential therapy for POAF and the feasibility to conduct a randomized trial of neurostimulation as an outlay for a multisite clinical trial is demonstrated.

TL;DR: The required tools in a software package are provided, allowing to model data generating processes under complex non‐proportional hazard scenarios, to simulate data from these models and to perform the weighted logrank tests.

TL;DR: It is shown that many critically injured children with TBI do not receive timely or best practice PH care, that PH guideline adherence rate is low and that longer transport time was associated with poor discharge outcomes for patients with direct transfer status.
