Daly, Caitlin H.; Maconachie, Ross; Ades, A. E.; Welton, Nicky J. – Research Synthesis Methods, 2022
Randomised controlled trials of cancer treatments typically report progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) outcomes. Existing methods to synthesise evidence on PFS and OS either rely on the proportional hazards assumption or make parametric assumptions which may not capture the diverse survival curve shapes across studies and…

Kosch, Robin; Jung, Klaus – Research Synthesis Methods, 2019
Research synthesis, eg, by meta-analysis, is more and more considered in the area of high-dimensional data from molecular research such as gene and protein expression data, especially because most studies and experiments are performed with very small sample sizes. In contrast to most clinical and epidemiological trials, raw data are often…
