Using Dissertations to Examine Potential Bias in Child and Adolescent Clinical Trials.
Abstract
The major youth psychotherapy meta-analyses have relied on published studies, which may have led to biased effect size estimates. To examine this possibility, the authors compared 121 dissertations with 134 published studies and found the following: (a) few differences on individual methodological variables, but, overall, stronger methodology in dissertations; (b) no differences in the steps taken to ensure treatment integrity; and (c) a mean dissertation effect size less than half that of published studies. The effect size difference remained robust across tests controlling for all reliable method differences. The findings suggest that dissertations are so strong, both methodologically and clinically, that they warrant inclusion in child psychotherapy meta-analyses and that previous meta-analyses, by excluding them, may have overestimated treatment effects.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
