Interventions for hereditary haemochromatosis

Treatments for hereditary haemochromatosis: a network meta‐analysis

Protocol

Kurinchi Selvan Gurusamy, Emmanuel Tsochatzis, Douglas Thorburn, Brian R Davidson

https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.CD011647

Differences between protocol and review

  • There was only one comparison. So we did not perform the network meta‐analysis, and assessed the comparative benefits and harms of different interventions using standard Cochrane methodology. The methodology that we plan to use if we conduct a network meta‐analysis in future is available in Appendix 1.

  • We performed Trial Sequential Analysis in addition to conventional method of assessing the risk of random errors using P‐value.

Notes

There was considerable overlap between the 'Methods' of this review and those of several other reviews written by the same group of authors.

El uso y la enseñanza del modelo PICO están muy extendidos en el ámbito de la atención sanitaria basada en la evidencia para formular preguntas y estrategias de búsqueda y para caracterizar estudios o metanálisis clínicos. PICO son las siglas en inglés de cuatro posibles componentes de una pregunta de investigación: paciente, población o problema; intervención; comparación; desenlace (outcome).

Para saber más sobre el uso del modelo PICO, puede consultar el Manual Cochrane.

Trial Sequential Analysis of adverse events (proportion) performed using an alpha error of 2.5%, power of 90% (beta error of 10%), relative risk reduction of 20%, control group proportion (Pc) observed in trials (21.6% for proportion of people with adverse events), and observed diversity (0%) shows that the accrued sample size was only a small fraction of the diversity‐adjusted required information size (DARIS) that the boundaries could not be drawn. The Z‐curve (blue line) does not cross the conventional boundaries (dotted green line). There was a high risk of random errors.

*The basis for the assumed risk is the mean control group proportion or control event rate. The corresponding risk (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).
CI: confidence interval.

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High quality: further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.
Moderate quality: further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.
Low quality: further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate.
Very low quality: we are very uncertain about the estimate.

1 Downgraded one level for risk of bias.
2 Downgraded two levels for imprecision (one level for small sample size and one level for wide confidence intervals).
