While *ideal* impact factor is well known to be a bad proxy of article quality, it is less well known that *actual* impact factor is negotiated and gamed by journals. You think Nature earned that impact factor? You think that's air you're breathing? (see e.g. journals.plos.org/plosmedicine...)

PROBLEM: Waste in research
Much health and medical research is wasted due to inappropriate study design or analysis
Waste could be reduced using expert review from a qualified statistician
Ethical review is an ideal stage to get expert input
Recently updated Declaration of Helsinki: "research must have a scientifically sound and rigorous design and execution that are likely to [...] avoid research waste."
DESIGN: Census of all human research ethics committees in Australia
Key question: does the committee have access to a qualified statistician?
CONCLUSIONS
Large and unjustified variation in practice between ethics committees
Many claims of having access to a statistician were not backed up with qualifications
Many committees have a narrow view of the value of statisticians
Recommendation: Randomised trials and prediction models should not receive ethical approval unless the research team includes](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:n2yhxn2fcj4ccyl6qkim43zh/bafkreid3wl6hgzbnoopsexcv4ckajulba4u2gvx2pdfhg2fjts6hq36sbq@jpeg)

🤔 Which risk-of-bias tool is appropriate for a diagnosis or prognosis study?
Systematic review authors frequently ask this question. There are at least 14 tools, and the choice depends on your research question and aims.

❓ In people with HIV, is using two different rapid tests together ('parallel testing') to diagnose TB more accurate than using only one?
An 'incremental' accuracy question: few Cochrane Reviews have yet addressed such questions.
