Abstract
Background:There have been few recent reports on the methodological quality of net-work meta-analysis, despite the enormous number of studies using net-work meta-analyses in the field of nutrition. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of net-work meta-analyses about nutrition according to the Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Network Meta-Analyses (PRISMA-NMA) guidelines. Our objective was to evaluate the quality of conduct and reporting of published Net-work Meta-analyses in Nutrition.
Objectives:Our objective was to evaluate the quality of conduct and reporting of published Net-work Meta-analyses in Nutrition.
Methods:A search was conducted to identify all nutritional network meta-analyses ever been published in the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library from inception to March 2020. Two reviewers independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed the methodological quality and reporting quality of included network meta-analysis applying the AMSTAR and PRISMA checklists. We also explore the factors that could influence the quality of network meta-analysis with meta-regression method. All statistical analysis will be conducted with STATA 15.1 software.
Results:This study is ongoing, and results will be presented at the Cochrane Colloquium as available.
Conclusions:This study is ongoing, and results will be presented at the Cochrane Colloquium as available.
Patient or healthcare consumer involvement:Not applicable.
