We conducted a PubMed search of MEDLINE for systematic reviews and/or meta-analyses published in the American Journal of Ophthalmology, British Journal of Ophthalmology, Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science, The Journal of the American Medical Association- Ophthalmology, Ocular Surface, Ophthalmology, and Progress in Retinal and Eye Research from 2005 to 2015. We used the following search string: ((((((((("Progress in retinal and eye research"[Journal])) OR "Archives of ophthalmology"[Journal]) OR "Ophthalmology"[Journal]) OR "The ocular surface"[Journal]) OR "American journal of ophthalmology"[Journal])) OR "Investigative ophthalmology & visual science"[Journal])) OR "The British journal of ophthalmology"[Journal]AND ((((meta-analysis[Title/Abstract]) OR meta-analysis[MeSH Terms]) OR systematic review[Title/Abstract]) OR systematic review[MeSH Terms]) OR meta-analysis[Publication Type]. This search strategy was a modification of Montori et al., (2005) which has shown to be sensitive to identifying systematic reviews and meta-analyses. The search was conducted on January 30, 2015.
Prior to screen and data abstraction, an abstraction manual was developed to standardize coding practices. This manual was pilot tested using a subset of 25 systematic reviews. Revisions were made as necessary. Following the pilot test, we held a training session for coders based on the manual using a subset of 5 systematic reviews. Results were discussed between coders and any discrepancies were resolved by consensus. Rater agreement was also calculated on a randomly selected subset of 10 systematic reviews and found to be 99.09\%.
After training, all full-text articles were retrieved and screened during the coding process. The types of excluded articles are detailed in Figure 1. We coded the following elements: (a) name of first author; (b) year of publication; (c) name of journal; (d) whether
journal assessed author addressed quality/risk of bias; (e)
what tool used for
quality/risk of bias assessment; (f)
whether author
use of used custom measures; (g)
grading of quality/risk of bias; whether primary articles in review were graded ; (f) scale used for grading; (h)
whether quality/risk of bias
found; found according to grading scale; (i)
whether quality/risk of bias
was included in review; (j)
subgroup analysis performed; (k) meta-regression analysis performed; (l) sensitivity whether a follow up analysis
performed; (m) how information was
presented. conducted (subgroup, meta-regression, sensitivity analysis).
