ISBT Webinar: Risk of Bias in research: adapting assessment tools for clinical studies for use in the lab

Aim of the webinar:

Introduce/remind participants of potential sources of bias – first in clinical trials, and then applying the same signposting questions to in-vitro/lab studies. Based on a systematic review we have published where we included a lot of in-vitro study data in our meta-analysis.

Level of education required:

All welcome. Understanding of basic comparative study design (namely randomised controlled clinical trials and/or paired samples in labs).

What knowledge is required?

Prior reading is not essential.

Target audience

1. Anyone interested in knowing more about RoB in SRs, especially those undertaking research in a lab.
2. Anyone undertaking research in a lab that may wish to improve their reporting (to help reviewers!).
3. Anyone interested in doing an SR to include lab (in-vitro) studies.
