A Case study on citation accuracy: the letter that "became" a research Article
-
- Author(s) / Creator(s)

Since its publication in 2006, a two-paragraph letter by Handoll H.H. on the need for Cochrane reviews on rehabilitation interventions has been repeatedly cited, erroneously, in meta-analyses of genetic risk factors as a reference for the Q test for heterogeneity.
In order to understand how this error started, evolved and lasted throughout the years, a citation and publication analysis of the citing articles was done.
