Submission to the Journal of #Glaucoma requires consultation with a statistical expert. Seems positive but the message only appears at the submission stage, not within author instructions - perhaps too late? Will be interesting to see if this helps improve the standard of conduct and reporting.

Someone on here recently used a term like "paper laundering" when low quality evidence is included in meta-analyses. I'm pretty sure I am guilty of that here. In retrospect, perhaps we could have presented individual study estimates without a pooled estimate. > www.ajo.com/article/S000...
