The impact of bias on the magnitude of treatment effect estimates in oral health randomized trials
DownloadFall 2016
Background: There is emerging evidence that randomized trials are subject to biases. Flaws in the design of such trials can result in over- or underestimation of the treatment effect size. Aim: To examine the empirical evidence for bias, to quantify the extent of bias associated with methodology,...
