LV wall mass was found unchanged as assessed by echocardiography, possibly due to methodological limitations and limited imaging quality in some patients.
However, confidence in these findings is limited due to methodological limitations.
Indeed, the existing epidemiological studies do not allow clearly demonstrating health effects of radionuclides at levels naturally encountered in drinking water due to methodological limitations (exposure assessment, possible confounders, and limited sample size).
In contrast, results of aging studies on automatic semantic retrieval are often inconsistent, probably due to methodological limitations and differences.
Pseudo-binary phase diagrams of (Ti 6Al 4V xH have been studied and developed, but are not well established due to methodological limitations.
Due to methodological limitations, we cannot safely say that the accelerated decomposition of litter originating in urban habitats is maintained in the late stages of decomposition.
Due to methodological limitations, size distributions in the environment are only partly known, especially with regard to the smallest microplastics and nanoplastics [8, 11, 99, 196].
Due to methodological limitations, the effect of trauma surges on clinical outcomes remains unclear, so hospitals have not prepared for such events in an evidence-based manner.
The biggest threats to meta-analysis are publication bias due to missing studies with negative results and low-quality evidence due to methodological limitations imposed by included studies.
Thus, its use in the university context has suffered some criticisms, either due to methodological limitations in items' construction or non-adaptation to the university context (Mills et al. 2012).
While there is growing support for the use of process-of-care checklists in ICUs [9, 10], their actual contributions to improvements in patient care remain unclear due to methodological limitations of published studies [11, 12].
