NxGen evidence: redesigning the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Effective Health Care website to promote engagement, interactivity and usability of systematic reviews.
This Brief Methods Note critiques the current paper-based format for systematic reviews and describes the development of a next generation (NxGen) AHRQ EPC Effective Health Care website. The authors suggest that this redesigned platform will allow end-users of all types to find and share the evidence they need through data visualizations and other interactive displays. Several design principles guided the development of NxGen to make systematic review findings more accessible, customizable, adaptable, interactive, and shareable.

Survey of the methods and reporting practices in published meta-analyses of test performance: 1987 to 2009.
The researchers performed a survey of meta-analyses of test performance to describe the evolution in their methods and reporting. They found that the most common clinical areas were cardiovascular disease and oncology, while the most common test categories were imaging and biomarker tests. They concluded that the methods employed in meta-analyses of test performance have improved with the introduction of quality assessment checklists and the development of more sophisticated statistical methods.
