Following publication of the original article [1], we have been notified of a few mistakes:

  • Figure 1:

    • “1351 titles and abstracts” should read “1322 titles and abstracts”

    • "Stat Biopharm Res" value should be "8" instead of "18"

    • "Stat Med" value should be "226" instead of "74"

    • "Stat Methods Med Res" value should be "74" instead of "226"

    • Results section, Stage 5, first paragraph, the phrase:

      • “It was endorsed by the MRC-NIHR Methodology Advisory Group on March 12, 2018, with minor updating of references and the final version produced on April 18, 2017” should read

      • “It was endorsed by the MRC-NIHR Methodology Advisory Group on March 12, 2018, with minor updating of references and the final version produced on April 18, 2018”.
