TL;DR: Development of guidelines based on a systematic review of the evidence in reports of systematic searches of the literature for diagnostic research, of methodological criteria to evaluate diagnosticResearch, of methods for statistical pooling of data on diagnostic accuracy, and of ways for exploring heterogeneity are developed.

TL;DR: A small but lasting effect of forced use therapy on the dexterity of the affected arm (ARA) and a temporary clinically relevant effect on the amount of use of theaffected arm during activities of daily living (MAL amount ofUse) are shown.

TL;DR: C corticosteroid injections were significantly better than all other therapy options for all outcome measures, and physiotherapy had better results than a wait-and-see policy, but differences were not significant.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of the available evidence on the diagnostic accuracy of the urine dipstick test, taking into account various pre-defined potential sources of heterogeneity, is presented in this article.
