A particular reporting practice was deemed to be associated with bias if the reason for non-reporting of an analysis was related to the results obtained; for example, if the result for the outcome was non-significant.
For example, consider the outcome of a coin toss.
However, outside of this special case, the assumption may not be appropriate if the outcomes are clearly measured on different scales, such as, for example, if the negative control outcome were dichotomous and the primary outcome were continuous.
For example, if the group of patient profiles (i.e. successful outcomes) has the greatest representation, then this outcome "successful" value will be assigned to the node.
For example, if the Results section of a manuscript describes a certain patient outcome, a corresponding block should exist in the Methods section describing how the data describing that outcome was collected, validated, and analyzed.
In this case, for example, if the SRC was evaluated for outcomes concerning continuity of care it might be found lacking, whereas our results indicate that clients considered it a beneficial resource.
Selected attributes are linked to selected data, for example, if the event had a fatal outcome; or if the event was a reason for stopping.
For example, if the individual is to change their behaviour they must value the outcome of the behaviour, believe they can produce the desired outcome, and believe that the outcome will result from successfully completing the behaviour [ 19].
For example, "if oil breaks from $55 a barrel to $35, and then trades between $35 and $40, a buyer of oil today would not consider that to be a happy outcome," said Fred Sturm, manager of the Ivy Global Natural Resources fund.
For example, if expected positive outcomes of a target behaviour differentiate between those who do and do not engage in that behaviour, it is prudent to target outcome expectancies in behaviour change interventions [ 8].
