Tolerating bad health research (part 2):
trialsjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....
In summary, after risk of bias reassessment of 140 UK, Irish and Canadian trials, there were still as many bad trials (55%) but trials judged to be good increased from 9% to 16%.
Not very reassuring really.

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.
