Secondly, the psychometric properties of the Belgian (French) version of the effort-reward imbalance questionnaire were tested in a comparative methodological data analysis of five different European countries.
A summary of the methodological data and study results can be found in Tables 5, 6 and 7. Seven of the studies were retrospective studies and one was prospective.
This final analysis was the only one to present methodological data from a study of haematologists or oncologists (a mailed survey of 3000 members of the American Society of Hematology to assess their approach to diagnosis and treatment of polycythemia vera; response rate was 38% with the stamped envelope).
It would be interesting to see if the readability (and hit count) of systematic reviews could be improved by using a shorter, snappier format, but with the relevant methodological data easily accessible from a web repository.
This work has been designed to supply methodological data mining guidelines, describing systematically the steps to be followed in metabolomics data exploration.
The codes are provided here for use by researchers and as part of a larger goal of standardizing paradata across research organizations to facilitate the sharing and transparency of methodological data.
Demographic and methodological data were also extracted for the following confounding factors: age, sex, sports discipline, competition level, seasonal phase, and methods for assessing body composition, energy intake, and/or TEE.
In particular, the presence of methodological data biases and the topological similarity between networks with small microscopic overlap can be detected clearly and at low computational cost.
Methodological data included the country setting, year of analysis, modeling approach, time horizon, population, outcomes reported, and data sources used.
The following methodological data will also be requested for all trials: method of generation of randomisation list, method of concealment of randomisation, stratification factors and blinding methods.
