Table 2:
A prespecified list of questions was asked when reviewing all in-scope articles (See supplemental material for a table of categories and the corresponding citations, and a separate spreadsheet of the individual analysis set articles and how they were categorized). Frequencies and percentages were recorded for all binary questions. Questions a reviewer could not answer are defined as missing, causing some questions to have fewer than 53 total answers. Answers to questions are on the article level and categories are not mutually exclusive. For example, an article could explore both a Frequentist and Bayesian model.
