• Systematic reviews of adverse effects are often hampered by findings of sparse data, or zero events. Results are frequently interpreted based on statements such as “no significant harm was found” or “the intervention was safe and well-tolerated.” Join Yoon K Loke, Co-Convenor of the Cochrane Adverse Effects Methods Group, for this webinar, which will focus on pitfalls in evaluating adverse effects data.  Both authors and referees of systematic reviews are welcome.
