Your systematic review protocol should be complete before you submit your registration request.</b> </p> <p>Registering reviews that are never performed is unhelpful to the research community and may discredit the research team. <br>You should therefore have the necessary resource in place to complete the review before you register your protocol (notification of award of research funding or firm commitment that author time is available for unfunded projects).</p> <p>PROSPERO relies on the integrity of researchers for the accuracy of the data supplied, and the named contacts are accountable for the content of their records. We routinely monitor the time frame given in submissions and seek clarification where this appears overly ambitious prior to confirming registration and providing a PROSPERO registration number. Amendments and updates to the record are made transparent in the audit trail within each record.</p> <p>On rare occasions, peer reviewers and editors using PROSPERO to compare what was planned with what is reported in the final manuscript, have identified that the initial registration date in PROSPERO post-dates the manuscript submission date to the journal. In these cases the logical explanation is that the stage of review was inaccurately completed in the PROSPERO registration form; otherwise the submission would have been rejected. In such cases, the named contact will be alerted to the issue and given the opportunity to respond within two weeks. If it is confirmed that incorrect information was provided, or no response is received, the content of the PROSPERO record will be removed, leaving the title and the details of the named contact and the following statement:</p> <p><strong>Since publication of this record it has been established that information provided initially about the stage of the review and anticipated completion date was inaccurate. The review had actually progressed beyond the stage of eligibility for PROSPERO.</strong> </p> <p><strong>Prospective registration aims to facilitate the comparison of reported review findings with what was planned a priori in the protocol. Reviews should ideally be registered before screening against eligibility criteria commences. However, reviews are currently accepted provided they have not progressed beyond the completion of data extraction.</strong> </p> <p><strong>Protocol details for this review should be sought from the named contact.</strong> </p> </div> </div> </div>   <div class="footer"> <div class="floatleft"> <p><a href="#contactuspage">Contact us</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.york.ac.uk/about/legal-statements/#tab-1" target="legal">Disclaimer</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.york.ac.uk/about/legal-statements/accessibility/" target="legal">Accessibility</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.york.ac.uk/about/legal-statements/cookies/" target="legal">Cookies</a> and <a href="http://www.york.ac.uk/about/legal-statements/#tab-4" target="legal">Privacy</a></p> </div> <a class="floatcenter" href="https://www.york.ac.uk/crd/" target="_blank"></a> <div class="floatright"> <p>Centre for Reviews and Dissemination<br /> University of York<br /> York, UK<br /> YO10 5DD<br /></p> </div> </div> </div>  </div> <div data-role="page" id="myprospero"> <div class="wrapper">  <div data-role="header"> <div id="documentheader"> <div id="documentheadericons"> <div id="documentheaderuniicon"></div> <div id="documentheadernihricon"><a href="http://www.nihr.ac.uk" target="_blank" class="floatright ui-link" tabindex="-1"><div class="nihr_logo"></div> </a></div> </div> <div id="documentheadertext"><a href="" onclick="GoHome()" tabindex="-1" style="font-weight:bold" class="ui-link">PROSPERO<span id="testdb"></span><br> <span style="font-size:0.85em">International prospective register of systematic reviews</span></a></div> </div>  <div class="navigation"> <ul class="nav">  <li class="menuitem"><a href="./" tabindex="-1">Home</a><span style="color: #9CAFA0;">|</span></li> <li class="menuitem"><a onclick="showAbout('about');" tabindex="-1">About PROSPERO</a><span style="color: #9CAFA0;">|</span></li> <li class="menuitem"><a onclick="showAboutReg('help');" tabindex="-1">How to register</a><span style="color: #9CAFA0;">|</span></li> <li id="tab4" class="menuitem"><a href="#" onclick="GoToPage('serviceinfopage')" id="link4" tabindex="-1">Service information</a></li> </ul> <ul class="nav" style="float:right"> <li class="menuitem"><a href="#searchadvanced" tabindex="-1">Search</a><span style="color: #9CAFA0;">|</span></li> <li class="menuitem link5" ><a href="#myprospero" tabindex="-1">My PROSPERO</a><span style="color: #9CAFA0;">|</span></li> <li class="menuitem"> <a href="#loginpage" class="link8" tabindex="-1">Log in</a> <span class="link8" style="color: #9CAFA0;">|</span> <a href="#joinuppage" class="link8" tabindex="-1">Join</a> <a onclick="userid=0;

Key features from the review protocol are recorded and maintained as a permanent record in PROSPERO.

You can make changes to the protocol and submit it as an update and it will be processed as for a new review. It is important to decide if you are updating a review, or in fact because of changes to the protocol, are doing a new review. The following definitions have been provided to help you decide.</p> <h3><em>What is an update of a review?</em></h3> <p>Updating a systematic review is a discrete event during which efforts are made to identify and incorporate new evidence into a previously completed systematic review<br> An ‘update’ may be any modified version of a review that includes the findings of a more recent search than the previously completed version of the review. It can still be considered an update even if the new search reveals no additional studies. Any newly identified studies should be assessed and, if appropriate, incorporated into the updated review. An update might also be an opportunity to conduct new analyses or add additional information to the review.</p> <h3><em>What constitutes a new review rather than an update?</em></h3> <p>It can be difficult to decide whether an update to a review is in fact a new review. There is little published guidance on this. PROSPERO adopts a pragmatic approach. If changes to the review questions or methods are so substantial that they require major changes to the original protocol, this should be regarded as a new review rather than an update. Examples that would constitute a new review: </p> <ul> <li>addition of new treatment comparisons e.g. direct comparison of different drugs, when the old review included only comparisons of drug with placebo;</li> <li>substantial changes to the population being studied e.g. adding adults to a review that was previously restricted to children;</li> <li>exclusion criteria in the old review become inclusion criteria in the new review;</li> <li>introduction of new analysis techniques e.g. a switch from aggregate data meta-analyses to individual participant meta-analyses. </li> </ul> <p>If in doubt, a new record for a new review should be created. This will minimise the complexity of the editing to the original record in PROSPERO and make it easier for users to distinguish between the original review and the later version. Links between the new and original review can be added in field #37 in the registration form.</p> <h3>Guide to completing the registration fields</h3> <p>The following guidance notes follow the format of the registration form. The guidance includes a description and example of what is required for each of the fields within each section.</p> <p><strong>SPECIAL NOTES:<br>We accept information in good faith and rely upon the integrity of researchers to ensure the validity of <u>all</u> the data presented in PROSPERO records. Action will be taken if inaccuracies in data, <u>particularly stage of review and anticipated completion date</u>, are identified at any time.</strong> </p> <p><strong>PROSPERO records need to be fully searchable so the information requested needs to be in the fields, even if access to a protocol is given in Field 34. The records are permanent but links are not.

This is because in the fixed-effect model, it is assumed that the differences in <i>observed</i> effect between studies is solely due to sampling error (i.e. differences in sample size), and that the <i>true</i> effect is the same (fixed) across all studies. However, this assumption is unlikely to hold true for data from animal studies, which generally include various species, strains and treatment regimes, for which different true effects are likely to exist. The random-effects model takes into account both the within-study (sampling error) and between-study (differences in the true effect size) variance. Should the excessive between-study variance be very low or zero, the random-effects model will yield the same results as the fixed-effect model.

COVID-19 protocols and continues to receive a vast and increasing number of registrations. To allow the PROSPERO team to focus on COVID-19 and to avoid further delay, <strong>during the pandemic </strong><strong>all submissions that have been waiting for registration for more than 30 days and which pass a basic automated check will be published automatically</strong>. The PROSPERO team will not check these submissions; this will be stated clearly on the published record. Records will be published exactly as submitted; therefore extra care should be taken to ensure that submitted information is accurate. Submissions which do not pass the basic automated check will be automatically rejected.</p> <p><b>Due to technical issues, you will not receive an email notification if your record is automatically published. Please check your account after 30 days to confirm registration</b></p> <p>For records that are within 30 days of submission, registrations from the UK will continue to be prioritised because PROSPERO is funded by the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR). </p> <p><strong>We are receiving a huge volume of emails enquiring about progress. Answering these takes time away from processing records, so we ask that you only email should it be absolutely necessary. If your enquiry is related to a review on COVID-19 registration please add #COVID-19 to your subject line. For other reviews please allow at least 34 days from submission before enquiring about progress. We thank you for your understanding in advance. </strong></p> <p><strong>Previous changes</strong><br> With effect From 1st October 2019, PROSPERO only accepts reviews provided that data extraction has not yet started.<br> This is intended to reduce potential for bias by reducing the opportunity for (conscious or subconscious) selection or manipulation of data during extraction to shape a review so that it reaches a desired conclusion. PROSPERO will continue to accept registrations if formal screening of search results against the review’s eligibility criteria is complete, because we understand that the steps of a review up to that point do not always follow a strictly sequential manner. We also recognise that registration before then may be challenging for reviews being done to a short timeline or strict deadline. Records are now date stamped to show initial submission date and date of receipt of revised records (for those returned to authors for amendment), as well as registration date.</p> <p>Authors should have written a full protocol before they register and provide full and specific details on their methods in the PROSPERO registration record. Generic ‘cut and paste’ statements should not be used.</p> <p><strong><span style="color: red">STUDENTS</span> doing mini-reviews or other training exercises should NOT register </strong></p> <p>PROSPERO has limited resource and is unable to process student work done as part of their training these (handling them takes time away from full projects intended for publication). Students may use the system to create and store a record by saving but please do not submit. Substantial reviews done for dissertations or theses may be registered but will require email confirmation by supervisors.</p> <p>PROSPERO has temporarily suspended the automatic uploading of Cochrane protocols because of technical issues. We are working to resolve these and hope to resume the automatic registration of Cochrane protocols over the coming months. </p> <div> <div> </div> <div> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="footer"> <div class="floatleft"> <p><a href="#contactuspage">Contact us</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.york.ac.uk/about/legal-statements/#tab-1" target="legal">Disclaimer</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.york.ac.uk/about/legal-statements/accessibility/" target="legal">Accessibility</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.york.ac.uk/about/legal-statements/cookies/" target="legal">Cookies</a> and <a href="http://www.york.ac.uk/about/legal-statements/#tab-4" target="legal">Privacy</a></p> </div> <a class="floatcenter" href="https://www.york.ac.uk/crd/" target="_blank"></a> <div class="floatright"> <p>Centre for Reviews and Dissemination<br /> University of York<br /> York, UK<br /> YO10 5DD<br /></p> </div> </div> </div>  </div> <div data-role="page" id="surveypage" data-theme="c" data-content-theme="a"> <div class="wrapper">  <div data-role="header"> <div id="documentheader"> <div id="documentheadericons"> <div id="documentheaderuniicon"></div> <div id="documentheadernihricon"><a href="http://www.nihr.ac.uk" target="_blank" class="floatright ui-link" tabindex="-1"><div class="nihr_logo"></div> </a></div> </div> <div id="documentheadertext"><a href="" onclick="GoHome()" tabindex="-1" style="font-weight:bold" class="ui-link">PROSPERO<span id="testdb"></span><br> <span style="font-size:0.85em">International prospective register of systematic reviews</span></a></div> </div>  <div class="navigation"> <ul class="nav">  <li class="menuitem"><a href="./" tabindex="-1">Home</a><span style="color: #9CAFA0;">|</span></li> <li class="menuitem"><a onclick="showAbout('about');" tabindex="-1">About PROSPERO</a><span style="color: #9CAFA0;">|</span></li> <li class="menuitem"><a onclick="showAboutReg('help');" tabindex="-1">How to register</a><span style="color: #9CAFA0;">|</span></li> <li id="tab4" class="menuitem"><a href="#" onclick="GoToPage('serviceinfopage')" id="link4" tabindex="-1">Service information</a></li> </ul> <ul class="nav" style="float:right"> <li class="menuitem"><a href="#searchadvanced" tabindex="-1">Search</a><span style="color: #9CAFA0;">|</span></li> <li class="menuitem link5" ><a href="#myprospero" tabindex="-1">My PROSPERO</a><span style="color: #9CAFA0;">|</span></li> <li class="menuitem"> <a href="#loginpage" class="link8" tabindex="-1">Log in</a> <span class="link8" style="color: #9CAFA0;">|</span> <a href="#joinuppage" class="link8" tabindex="-1">Join</a> <a onclick="userid=0; deleteCookie('UserID', 0, 1); " href="logout.php" class="link7" tabindex="-1">Logout: <b> </b></a> </li> </ul> </div> <div style="clear:both"></div> </div> <div data-role="content"> <div class="container" style="padding:2em;"> <h2>NIHR Survey</h2> <p>We have been asked by NIHR to investigate if and how PROSPERO is helping to reduce unintended duplication of systematic reviews.

The conflicts of interest listed should cover the review team as a whole, as well as individuals in the team.</p> <p>Conflicts of interest arise when a team member or the team as a whole (e.g. because of the team’s institution) has financial or personal relationships that may inappropriately influence (bias) their actions (such relationships are also known as dual commitments, competing interests, or competing loyalties).These relationships vary from being negligible to having great potential for influencing judgement. Not all relationships represent true conflict of interest.</p> <p>On the other hand, the potential for conflict of interest can exist regardless of whether a person believes that the relationship affects his or her scientific judgement. Financial relationships (such as employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, and paid expert testimony) are the most easily identifiable conflicts of interest and the most likely to undermine the credibility of the review. </p> <p>However, conflicts can occur for other reasons, such as personal relationships, academic competition, and intellectual passion. For the purposes of disclosure, the term “competing interest” should be considered synonymous with conflict of interest.<sup>1</sup> </p> <p><strong>Example:</strong> The lead reviewer (JB) has given talks on this topic at workshops, seminars, and conferences for which travel and accommodation has been paid for by the organisers. The other authors declare that they have no known conflicts of interest.</p> </div> <div class="help_Q14"> <p>Give the name and affiliation of any individuals or organisations who are working on the review but who are not listed as review team members. <b>NOTE: email and country are now mandatory fields for each person.</b></p> <p><strong>Example: </strong>Dr Eric Porter, Oncologist, University Hospital, Brighton, UK.

Give the search dates, and any restrictions (e.g. language or publication period). Do NOT enter the full search strategy (it may be provided as a link or attachment.)</p> <p>The search strategy reported in systematic review protocols should:</p> <ul type="disc"> <li>Name all sources that will be used to identify studies for the systematic review.</li> </ul> <p>Sources include (but are not limited to) bibliographic databases, reference lists of eligible studies and review articles, key journals, conference proceedings, trials registers, Internet resources and contact with study investigators, experts and manufacturers.</p> <p>Systematic reviews typically use more than one database. Examples of electronic bibliographic databases include MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO. Other database sources include The Cochrane Library, Health Technology Assessment Database, and Web of Science.</p> <ul type="disc"> <li>Search dates (from and to)</li> <li>Restrictions on the search including language and publication period</li> <li>Whether searches will be re-run prior to the final analysis </li> </ul> <p>It is considered good practice for searches to be re-run just before the final analyses and any further studies identified, retrieved for inclusion. </p> <ul type="disc"> <li>Whether unpublished studies will be sought</li> </ul> </div> <div class="help_Q17"> <p>Give a link to the search strategy or an example of a search strategy for a specific database if available (including the keywords that will be used in the search strategies).<br>Alternatively, an electronic file could be supplied which will be linked to from the Register record. This will be made publicly available from the published record immediately, or it can be held in confidence until the review has been completed, at which time it will be made publicly available. </p> <p><strong>Example: </strong><a href="http://www.biomedcentral.com/1756-0500/3/250" target="_blank" tabindex="-1">http://www.biomedcentral.com/1756-0500/3/250</a> </p> </div> <div class="help_Q18"> <p>Give a short description of the disease, condition or healthcare domain being studied. This could include health and wellbeing outcomes. </p> <p><strong>Examples:</strong> Type 2 diabetes. Physical activity in children.</p> </div> <div class="help_Q19"> <p>Give summary criteria for the participants or populations being studied by the review. The preferred format includes details of both inclusion and exclusion criteria. </p> <p><strong>Example:</strong><br> Inclusion: Adults with schizophrenia (as diagnosed using any recognised diagnostic criteria).<br> Exclusion: Adolescents (under 18 years of age) and elderly people (over 70).</p> </div> <div class="help_Q20"> <p>Give full and clear descriptions or definitions of the nature of the interventions or the exposures to be reviewed. This is particularly important for reviews of complex interventions (interventions involving the interaction of several elements). If appropriate, an operational definition describing the content and delivery of the intervention should be given. </p> <p>Ideally, an intervention should be reported in enough detail that others could reproduce it or assess its applicability to their own setting. The preferred format includes details of both inclusion and exclusion criteria. </p> <p>For reviews of qualitative studies give details of the focus of the review. </p> <p><strong>Example: </strong>Population-level tobacco control interventions are defined as those applied to populations, groups, areas, jurisdictions or institutions with the aim of changing the social, physical, economic or legislative environment to make them less conducive to smoking. These are approaches that mainly rely on state or institutional control, either of a link in the supply chain or of smokers' behaviour in the presence of others.</p> <p>Examples include tobacco crop substitution or diversification, removing subsidies on tobacco production, restricting trade in tobacco products, measures to prevent smuggling, measures to reduce illicit cross-border shopping, restricting advertising of tobacco products, restrictions on selling tobacco products to minors, mandatory health warning labels on tobacco products, increasing the price of tobacco products, restricting access to cigarette vending machines, restricting smoking in the workplace, and restricting smoking in public places. Such approaches could also form part of wider, multifaceted interventions in schools, workplaces or communities.<sup>3</sup> </p> </div> <div class="help_Q21"> <p>Where relevant, give details of the alternatives against which the main subject/topic of the review will be compared (e.g. another intervention or a non-exposed control group). The preferred format includes details of both inclusion and exclusion criteria.</p> <p>Control or comparison interventions should be described in as much detail as the intervention being reviewed. If the comparator is ‘treatment as usual’ or ‘standard care’, this should be described, with attention being paid to whether it is ‘standard care’ at the time that an eligible study was done, or at the time the review is done.</p> <p>Systematic reviews of qualitative studies rarely have a comparator or control; stating ‘Not applicable’ is therefore acceptable. </p> <p><strong>Examples:</strong> Placebo. A group of hospital in-patients who were not exposed to the infectious agent.</p> </div> <div class="help_Q22"> <p>Give details of the types of study (study designs) eligible for inclusion in the review. If there are no restrictions on the types of study design eligible for inclusion, or certain study types are excluded, this should be stated. The preferred format includes details of both inclusion and exclusion criteria.</p> <p>If different study designs are needed for different parts of the review, this should be made clear. Where qualitative evidence will be incorporated in or alongside a review of quantitative data, this should be stated. </p> <p><strong>Example: </strong>We will include randomised trials to assess the beneficial effects of the treatments, and will supplement these with observational studies (including cohort and case–control studies) for the assessment of harms.</p> </div> <div class="help_Q23"> <p>Give summary details of the setting and other relevant characteristics which help define the inclusion or exclusion criteria.</p> <p>Include relevant details if these form part of the review’s eligibility criteria but are not reported elsewhere in the PROSPERO record. </p> <p><strong>Examples:</strong> Studies in hospital accident and emergency departments. Research in low- and middle-income countries only will be included.</p> </div> <div class="help_Q24"> <p>Give the pre-specified primary (most important) outcomes of the review, including details of how the outcome is defined and measured and when these measurement are made, if these are part of the review inclusion criteria.</p> <p>For systematic reviews of qualitative studies give details of what the review aims to achieve. </p> <p><strong>Examples:</strong>Change in depression score from baseline to the last available follow-up, measured using the Beck Depression Inventory. Five year progression-free survival (measured from randomisation). Establishing the barriers and facilitators to smoking cessation in pregnancy. </p> </div> <div class="help_Q25"> <p>List the pre-specified secondary (additional) outcomes of the review, with a similar level of detail to that required for primary outcomes.

Conﬂicts of interest arise when a team member or the team as a whole (e.g. because of the team’s institution) has ﬁnancial or personal relationships that may inappropriately inﬂuence (bias) their actions (such relationships are also known as dual commitments, competing interests, or competing loyalties). These relationships vary from being negligible to having great potential for inﬂuencing judgement. Not all relationships represent true conﬂict of interest. On the other hand, the potential for conﬂict of interest can exist regardless of whether a person believes that the relationship affects his or her scientiﬁc judgement. Financial relationships (such as employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, and paid expert testimony) are the most easily identiﬁable conﬂicts of interest and the most likely to undermine the credibility of the review. However, conﬂicts can occur for other reasons, such as personal relationships, academic competition, and intellectual passion. For the purposes of disclosure, the term “competing interest” should be considered synonymous with conﬂict of interest.</p> <p> <strong>Example:</strong> The lead reviewer (JB) has given talks on this topic at workshops, seminars, and conferences for which travel and accommodation has been paid for by the organisers.

Please include details of both inclusion and exclusion criteria.</p> <p>For reviews of pre-clinical animal studies, the intervention would be e.g. treatment with a drug, or a therapeutic intervention such as exercise. For reviews of animal exposure studies, e.g. in toxicology, the intervention would be exposure to a certain compound. For reviews aiming to provide an overview of animal models for a certain health problem or disease, this would be the intervention(s) used to induce the disease model (e.g. high-fat diet to induce obesity, or transverse aortic constriction to induce heart failure). See also Field #30 for additional information on review types.</p> <p><strong>Example: </strong>Inclusion criteria: analgesic treatment with compounds registered for use in clinical practice, including pre-treatment of tumor cells with analgesics before injection.

Both tools may be adapted by adding or removing items. If this is planned, specify which adaptations have been made. “No risk of bias and/or quality assessment planned” is acceptable only if the aim of the review is limited to providing an overview of available animal models, without presenting any outcome data.</p> </div> <div class="help_Q28"> <p>Give the planned general approach to synthesis, e.g. whether aggregate or individual participant data will be used and whether a quantitative or narrative (descriptive) synthesis is planned. It is acceptable to state that a quantitative synthesis will be used if the included studies are sufficiently homogenous. </p> <p>Where appropriate, the planned analytical approaches (e.g. Bayesian or frequentist (classical), fixed or random effects; categorising studies within a narrative synthesis) should be outlined. Whether and how statistical heterogeneity will be explored and how any observed heterogeneity will impact on or modify the planned approach to analysis should be stated, along with any planned sensitivity analyses. </p> <p><strong>Example: </strong>We will provide a narrative synthesis of the findings from the included studies, structured around the type of intervention, target population characteristics, type of outcome and intervention content. We will provide summaries of intervention effects for each study by calculating risk ratios (for dichotomous outcomes) or standardised mean differences (for continuous outcomes).</p> <p>We anticipate that there will be limited scope for meta-analysis because of the range of different outcomes measured across the small number of existing trials. However, where studies have used the same type of intervention and comparator, with the same outcome measure, we will pool the results using a random-effects meta-analysis, with standardised mean differences for continuous outcomes and risk ratios for binary outcomes, and calculate 95% confidence intervals and two sided P values for each outcome. In studies where the effects of clustering have not been taken into account, we will adjust the standard deviations for the design effect. Heterogeneity between the studies in effect measures will be assessed using both the χ2 test and the <em>I</em>2 statistic. We will consider an <em>I</em>2 value greater than 50% indicative of substantial heterogeneity. We will conduct sensitivity analyses based on study quality. We will use stratified meta-analyses to explore heterogeneity in effect estimates according to: study quality; study populations; the logistics of intervention provision; and intervention content. We will also assess evidence of publication bias.</p> <p><strong>Example for IPD:</strong> Individual data from all randomised participants will be included in the analyses, which will be performed on an intention to treat basis. A two-stage approach to synthesis will be used. For time to event outcomes, the individual times to event will be used in the stratified (by trial) logrank test to produce hazard ratio estimates of the effect of treatment for individual trials. These hazard ratios will then be combined across studies using a fixed effect model to give combined hazard ratios. For dichotomous outcomes, the number of events and the number of patients will be used to calculate Peto odds ratio estimates of treatment effect. These will be generated for individual trials and then combined across trials using a fixed effect model. For all outcomes, trial results will also be combined using a random effects model to test robustness to model choice.</p> </div> <div class="help_Q29"> <p>Give details of any plans for the separate presentation, exploration or analysis of different types of participants (e.g. by age, disease status, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, presence or absence or co-morbidities); different types of intervention (e.g. drug dose, presence or absence of particular components of intervention); different settings (e.g. country, acute or primary care sector, professional or family care); or different types of study (e.g. randomised or non-randomised).</p> <p>The approach to be taken should be stated, e.g. whether subgroup analyses, meta-regression or modelling of covariates is planned and, where appropriate, details of categorisation (e.g. BMI <25, 25-30,>30) should be given. Where it is not possible or appropriate to specify subgroups or subsets in advance, for example in a qualitative synthesis, please make a statement to this effect. </p> <p><strong>Example: </strong>If the necessary data are available, subgroup analyses will be done for people with stage I and stage II disease separately. Within each stage, and overall, we also plan to do a subgroup analysis by age (<20, 20-30, 30-40, >40 years). </p> <p>This is a qualitative synthesis and while subgroup analyses may be undertaken it is not possible to specify the groups in advance</p> </div> <div class="help_Q30"> <p>Pre-clinical animal intervention reviews have a review question in the PICO format and concern pre-clinical testing of intervention(s) in animal models of disease.
