Compendium 0.9.21

Six systematic-review families in v0.9.21.

Each new review receives an immutable method profile that guides protocol, search, extraction, synthesis and reporting. Quantitative capabilities remain deliberately family-specific.

InterventionValidated pairwise meta-analysis: OR only when every 2×2 cell is non-zero; MD; Hedges’ g (SMD). RR and HR pooling/export remain unavailable.PICO
Diagnostic test accuracyStructured 2×2 tables and per-report sensitivity and specificity with Wilson 95% confidence intervals; no pooled, HSROC or bivariate estimate.PIRD
Prognostic models / factorsOne human-classified result unit per report for prediction models or prognostic factors; no pooling, transformation, ranking or causal interpretation.PICOTS
Economic evaluationFull economic evaluations only, with one structured result per report; no cross-report normalization, ICER comparison, pooling or decision claim.PICO
Qualitative synthesisResearcher-authored excerpts → codes → themes audit trail and narrative; counts are not effect estimates.PICo
Case seriesAggregate report-level descriptive table and narrative; no individual-case matrix or incidence, prevalence or causal estimate.PEO

APPRAISAL

External instruments

Risk-of-bias and certainty instruments are not embedded. Compendium may record a neutral manual transcription of an appraisal completed externally for a specific comparison, outcome, time point and effect measure. Only a completed or reconciled record with complete scope may enter the report as an external transcription; the app does not reproduce, score or implement the instrument.

INTERPRET

Review the full evidence

For intervention meta-analysis, interpret pooled effects with 95% confidence intervals and heterogeneity. For every family, integrate study limitations, external risk-of-bias appraisal and certainty of evidence; Compendium does not replace that judgement.
