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

This approach uses relative ranks that are based on quality counts.

To calculate the relative rank for a study, the items counted as present from a tool produce an overall quality count for the study 4/7
The overall quality count for each study is then divided by the quality count of the study with the most implemented items to produce a rank between 0 and 1 5/7
This rank is unique to the meta-analysis and allows comparison across study designs.
