SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

IPD meta-analysis guidance and workflow support to plan, execute, and report IPD meta-analyses in line with PRISMA-IPD.

Core Features & Use Cases

Section-by-section guidance aligned with the PRISMA-IPD extension for IPD meta-analyses, including data collection, harmonisation, and analytical planning.
Supports one-stage and two-stage analytical approaches, IPD quality checks, and pre-specified subgroup analyses to enhance interpretation.
Use case: a research team coordinates IPD from multiple trials, harmonises variables, runs unified analyses, and generates compliant manuscripts.

Quick Start

Start by outlining an IPD meta-analysis protocol and begin harmonising study data using the templates provided in this skill.

FAQPage Schema

How do I conduct an IPD meta-analysis using PRISMA-IPD guidelines?▼

An IPD meta-analysis collects individual participant data from multiple trials to perform unified analyses. It requires data harmonisation and pre-specified subgroup analyses to enhance interpretation compared to aggregate data.

What is the difference between one-stage and two-stage analysis in IPD meta-analyses?▼

In IPD meta-analyses, one-stage analysis models all participant data simultaneously, while two-stage analysis analyzes each trial separately before combining the results. This skill supports planning both analytical approaches.

How do I harmonise variables across multiple trials for a systematic review?▼

To harmonise variables across multiple trials for a systematic review, apply structured data-handling workflows and protocol templates that align variables across different studies to prepare for unified IPD meta-analysis.

Can I perform individual-level subgroup analyses with IPD meta-analysis?▼

Yes, you can perform individual-level subgroup analyses with IPD meta-analysis. This skill provides templates to pre-specify and execute subgroup analyses to enhance the interpretation of harmonised trial data.

What are the limitations of using PRISMA-IPD for systematic reviews?▼

Using PRISMA-IPD for systematic reviews requires extensive IPD collection and rigorous data harmonisation across multiple trials. The complexity of one-stage and two-stage analyses demands careful pre-specified protocol planning to remain reproducible.
