Scoping reviews are powerful tools to explore broad or emerging topics, map existing evidence, and identify gaps in the literature. But how are they different from systematic reviews, and when should you choose one over the other? We’ll walk through key steps, common challenges, and practical tips to help you get started or refine your current approach. By the end of this webinar, you will deepen your understanding of when and why to choose a scoping review over other review types. Understand the essential steps involved in planning and conducting a scoping review. Gain practical tips to define your question, chart the data, and report your findings clearly.

Webinar: How to address conflicts of interests in systematic reviews using TACIT

Commercial funding and authors’ financial ties are common in clinical trials. Previously, there has been little guidance on how to address such conflicts of interest when conducting systematic reviews. The Tool for Addressing Conflicts of Interest in Trials (TACIT) is a tool that provides systematic reviewers with a framework for addressing conflicts of interest in trials included in Cochrane Reviews and other systematic reviews. This talk will outline the development and practical use of the tool.

Andreas Lundh is an associate professor at Cochrane Denmark and Centre of Evidence-Based Medicine Odense at University of Southern Denmark. He trained as a physician at University of Copenhagen and did a Master’s degree in clinical epidemiology at Erasmus University in Rotterdam. His PhD was on conflicts of interest in biomedical publishing. Besides his work as a meta-researcher he works a senior registrar in infectious diseases at Bispebjerg Hospital in Copenhagen. The focus of his research is on conflicts of interest in clinical research, particularly, in relation to industry-funded drug trials, and in understanding how conflicts of interest may influence the design, conduct, analysis and reporting of clinical research. He is co-leading the development of TACIT (Tool for Addressing Conflicts of Interest in Trials) to be used in systematic reviews.
