We’re bombarded with health advice 24/7. Systematic reviews help cut through the noise—but most people don’t know what they are.

💥 That’s where #ThePeoplesReview comes in. Learn about systematic reviews, by doing a systematic review

Here's a new risk of bias tool for systematic reviews: ROBUST-RCT

www.bmj.com/content/388/...

Similar to an older Cochrane risk of bias tool, it looks like something that could actually be used, which is great. The team explicitly aimed to balance simplicity and methodological rigour.
The 6 core items of the new risk of bias tool. Also in paper at the link.
