Missing data can reduce the statistical power of a study and can produce biased estimates, leading to invalid conclusions. This manuscript reviews the problems and types of missing data, along with the techniques for handling missing data.
Aug 26, 2020 · If threshold of null effect is not crossed, it might be valuable to then evaluate the change in effect estimate to assess whether the relative effect goes from an important to an unimportant effect. If the latter happens, then rate down the certainty for risk of bias associated with missing data.

Systematic reviews seek to identify all research that meets pre-specified eligibility criteria. This goal can be compromised if decisions about how, when or where to report results of eligible studies are influenced by the P value, magnitude or direction of the study’s results. For example, ‘statistically significant’ results that suggest an interv...
The convincing evidence for the presence of non-reporting biases, summarized in Chapter 7, Section 7.2.3, should be of great concern to review authors. Regardless of whether an entire study report or a particular study result is unavailable selectively (e.g. because the P value, magnitude or direction of the results were considered unfavourable by ...
There is clear evidence that selective dissemination of study reports and results leads to an over-estimate of the benefits and under-estimate of the harms of interventions in systematic reviews and meta-analyses. However, overcoming, detecting and correcting for bias due to missing evidence is difficult. Comprehensive searches are important, but a...

Jun 1, 2019 · What is new? Key findings. •. Unbiased results can be obtained even with large proportions of missing data (up to 90% shown in our simulation study), provided the imputation model is properly specified and data are missing at random. •.
Oct 7, 2000 · Should we be more concerned about “bias caused by omitted research” than the well recognised pitfall of publication bias? The increasing awareness of this danger is leading to efforts to correct this imbalance.

Oct 10, 2014 · The term intention-to-treat holds no information about how missing outcomes were handled in the analysis, and participants with missing outcomes are typically omitted from the analysis. This results in a “complete case intention-to-treat analysis.”

Oct 30, 2022 · Omitted variable bias occurs when a statistical model fails to include one or more relevant variables. In other words, it means that you left out an important factor in your analysis. Example: Omitted variable bias. Let’s say you want to investigate the effect of education on people’s salaries.
