During #JBIMethodology Month we’ll be sharing a series of #MethodsInAMinute tweetorials. We’ll begin with key points on Umbrella Reviews by A/Prof Edoardo Aromataris 👇
With the ever-increasing number of systematic reviews & research syntheses available to inform topics in healthcare, SRs of existing reviews, or umbrella reviews, are increasingly being conducted to summarise a broad scope of issues related to a given topic.
An umbrella review is also ideal in highlighting if the evidence base around a topic or question is consistent or if contradictory or discrepant findings exist, and in exploring and detailing the reasons why.
JBI’s approach to evidence-based healthcare is unique. JBI considers #EBHC as decision-making that considers the feasibility, appropriateness, meaningfulness and effectiveness (FAME) of healthcare practices. Read below to learn more about the JBI Model of EBHC.
The inner circle represents the pebble of knowledge while the inner wedges provide JBI’s conceptualisation of the steps involved in the process of achieving an evidence-based approach to clinical decision-making.
The outer wedges operationalise the component parts of the Model and articulate how they might be actioned in a pragmatic way. The arrows indicate that the flow can be bi-directional.
The latest issue of the JBI Evidence Synthesis journal is out now and includes THREE diverse evidence syntheses, each employing a different #JBIMethodology.
A qualitative systematic review aims to identify, critically appraise, and synthesise the available evidence on the experiences of people with progressive memory disorders who are involved in non-pharmacological interventions: journals.lww.com/jbisrir/Abstra…
Qualitative methods & data are increasing in usage in #EBHC research. Instead of quantifying or statistically portraying the data or findings, qualitative research focuses on individuals & gives voice to the patient/client or provider in the healthcare decision-making process.
The latest issue of the JBI Evidence Synthesis journal is out now and includes THREE diverse evidence syntheses, each employing a different #JBIMethodology.
The featured systematic review is a review of etiology and risk which examines the rates of 3 harms of interest in remote communities where alcohol restriction policies are in place for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people: journals.lww.com/jbisrir/Fullte…
Systematic reviews of etiology & risk factors assess the relationship (association) between certain factors (whether genetic or environmental for example) and the development of a disease or condition or other health outcome.
The @JBIEBHC Critical Appraisal Tools (CATs) are changing! This is a thread that will detail the biggest changes made and how these reflect current methodological developments in the field for #JBIMethodology month 1/7
Firstly, some background- The JBI CATs present a series of questions that ask reviewers to consider particular safeguards in the design on the study being appraised (e.g. randomisation in #RCTs). 2/7
In this format, the JBI CATs are typically completed by using these questions as a checklist (scoring each question as met, unmet etc.). However, they can also be completed as if they were a scale 3/7
Read this Tweetorial on relative ranks for methodological quality assessment by Jennifer Stone, Research Fellow in the JBI #EBHC Research Division, for #JBImethodology month 1/7
Did you know that there’s an alternative bias assessment method for primary studies in meta-analyses and systematic reviews that does not require reviewer judgments? 2/7
This approach uses relative ranks that are based on quality counts.

1/ Did you know that rigorous, evidence-based methodology underpins the development of @JBIEBHC’s unique evidence-based resources to assist clinicians in their clinical decision-making and practice at the point of care? Learn how in the below #tweetorial for #JBIMethodology month
2/ Evidence Summaries and Recommended Practices sit within the JBI EBP Database available via @ovid_wkhealth. Specialty field experts from across the globe follow a rigorous editorial process to develop these resources jbi-global-wiki.refined.site/space/JED/4555…
3/@JBIEBHC Evidence Summaries are a comprehensive, concise overview of the best available evidence for specific care practices. Driven by a clinical question, a structured approach to searching, selecting, appraising and summarizing evidence is followed.
What is Qualitative Evidence Synthesis? What role does it play in #healthcare? See below for a brief #tweetorial from @Catrin_notts for #JBImethodology month 1/10
#Qualitative evidence synthesis seeks to provide an understanding of meanings, practices and processes associated with social experience, behaviour and culture 2/10
Qualitative evidence synthesis involves the identification and synthesis of qualitative studies to provide insights related to a focused question 3/10
To celebrate #JBIMethodology Month, we share the @JBIEBHC approach to the systematic review of textual evidence in this #tweetorial 1/13
@alexamcarthur1 @jitka_klugarova @ACooperSF
@alexamcarthur1 @jitka_klugarova @ACooperSF
@JBIEBHC takes a comprehensive view regarding what counts as evidence to inform healthcare policy & practice 2/13
First developed in 2004, the @JBIEBHC approach to the systematic review of textual evidence seeks to determine the authenticity and credibility of textual evidence sources. The methodology has been reviewed and is currently being finalised 3/13
A/Prof Edoardo Aromataris gives key points on umbrella reviews in this tweetorial. #JBImethodology

I have been told that scoping reviews (ScRs) are ‘lesser’ or ‘inferior’ to systematic reviews (SRs). Here is a thread on why that is a complete lie! /1 #JBImethodology #EBHC @JBIEBHC #ScRsAreAwesome
I remember in my PhD being told that my ScR wouldn’t even get published, because it is a ‘poor form’ of a SR.
We need to change this perception! Because it leads to the belief that ScRs should not be conducted in a rigorous and transparent manner- which it should be! /2

Let’s remember, ScRs and SRs are both forms of evidence synthesis. However, they have different purposes, and subsequently, questions, and in some areas, conduct differs /3
