Previously, Avenell et al. (2019) concluded that the findings of 13/36 (36%) systematic reviews, clinical guidelines and other reviews would likely change if the retracted trials they cited were removed. Referring to: Avenell, A., Stewart, F., Grey, A., Gamble, G., & Bolland, M. (2019). An investigation into the impact and implications of published papers from retracted research: Systematic search of affected literature. BMJ Open, 9(10), e031909. However, in Table 2 of Avenell et al. (2019), it is indicated that the findings of 13/32 (or ~41%) of the findings of affected publications would likely change. Could the authors please check if it supposed to be 13/32 or 13/36, and thus, 36% or 41%. |
