Cognitive Bias Modification in Alcohol Use Disorder and Problematic Drinking: A Revised and Updated IPD Bayesian Meta-Analysis Open
Background: Recent advances in Cognitive Bias Modification (CBM) for problematic drinking, including Alcohol Use Disorder, alongside methodological refinements, warrant an update of the Individual Participant Data (IPD) Bayesian meta-analy…

Antenatal Sildenafil for Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia: A Systematic Review and Bayesian Meta-Analysis of Preclinical Studies Open
Background: In congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), pulmonary hypoplasia and pulmonary hypertension are major causes of morbidity and mortality. Antenatal treatment with sildenafil has shown some promising protective effects in experimen…
Meta-Analysis with JASP, Part II: Bayesian Approaches Open
Bayesian inference is on the rise, partly because it allows researchers to quantify parameter uncertainty, evaluate evidence for competing hypotheses, incorporate model ambiguity, and seamlessly update knowledge as information accumulates.…
Meta-Analysis with JASP, Part I: Classical Approaches Open
Meta-analyses play a crucial part in empirical science, enabling researchers to synthesize evidence across studies and draw more precise and generalizable conclusions. Despite their importance, access to advanced meta-analytic methodology …
Z-Curve Plot: A Visual Diagnostic for Publication Bias in Meta-Analysis Open
Publication bias undermines meta-analytic inference, yet visual diagnostics for detecting model misfit due to publication bias are lacking. We propose the z-curve plot, a publication-bias-focused absolute model fit diagnostic. The z-curve …
Truncating the likelihood allows outlier exclusion without overestimating the evidence in the Bayes factor t test. Open
The purpose of outlier exclusion is to improve data quality and prevent model misspecification. However, procedures to identify and exclude outliers may bring unwanted side effects such as an increase in the Type I error rate. Here we stud…
Association Between Endotype of Prematurity and Cystic Periventricular Leukomalacia: A Bayesian Model-Averaged Meta-Analysis Open
Introduction: Pathophysiological pathways—or endotypes—leading to prematurity can be clustered into two groups: infection/inflammation and dysfunctional placentation. We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies exp…
Absence of Evidence of Beneficial Effects of Human Milk‐Based Fortifier: A Bayesian Model‐Averaged Meta‐Analysis Open
Aim Human milk‐based fortifiers ( HMBFs ) have been adopted in neonatal care despite limited efficacy data. Our objective was to conduct a Bayesian re‐analysis of the current evidence on the protective effect of HMBF against necrotising en…

Non-random patterns in the co-occurrence and accumulation of adverse life events in two national panel datasets Open
Adverse life events (ALEs), such as illness, bereavement, and accidents, can have profound consequences for physical and mental health. Although existing research highlights structural predictors of ALEs, such as personality and socioecono…
Association Between Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy and Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Very Preterm Infants: A Bayesian Model-Averaged Meta-Analysis Open
Background/Objectives: Prenatal adverse events may influence the development of complications of prematurity, including patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). We conducted a systematic review and Bayesian model-averaged (BMA) meta-analysis of obs…

Urban-rural differences in anxiety and depression in the UK, New Zealand, and Norway Open
As the global urban population surpasses 50 %, understanding the impact of urban environments on mental health is crucial. This study examines the relationship between urbanicity and the prevalence of depression and anxiety disorders in th…
Adjusting for Publication Bias Reveals Evidence Against Social Comparison As a Behaviour Change Technique Across the Behavioural Sciences Open
Social comparison is increasingly used as a behaviour change technique (SC-BCT) yet its true efficacy remains unclear. To address this concern, Hoppen and colleagues1 performed a comprehensive meta-analysis of 79 randomized controlled tria…
Adjusting for Publication Bias Reveals No Evidence for the Effect of ChatGPT on Students’ Learning Performance, Learning Perception, and Higher-Order Thinking Open
Students increasingly use large language models such as ChatGPT to help them with their study tasks. Consequently, there is an acute interest in ascertaining and quantifying the effects of large language models in educational settings. In …

Introducing the Journal of Robustness Reports Open
The vast majority of empirical research articles report a single primary analysis outcome that is the result of a single analysis plan, executed by a single analysis team (usually the team that also designed the experiment and collected th…
Testing the congruency hypothesis using meta-analysis: Are changes in oral contraceptive use correlated with partnered women's sexual satisfaction? Open
Based on claims that changes in women's hormone levels influence their mating psychology, the Congruency Hypothesis proposes that women in relationships who change their hormonal contraceptive use after meeting their partner will report lo…
Robust Bayesian Meta-Regression: Model-Averaged Moderation Analysis in the Presence of Publication Bias Open
Meta-regression is an essential meta-analytic tool for investigating sources of heterogeneity and assessing the impact of moderators. However, existing methods for meta-regression have limitations, such as inadequate consideration of model…

Sex Differences in the Risk of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia and Pulmonary Hypertension: A Bayesian Meta-Analysis Open
Background Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is generally considered to be more frequent in males than in females. We conducted a Bayesian model-averaged (BMA) meta-analysis of studies addressing sex differences in the risk of developing di…
