Tests can be used for several purposes: screening, surveillance, risk classification, diagnosis, staging, treatment triage, determination of prognosis and monitoring/follow-up.1 The development of testing recommendations in guidelines is challenging, especially because the benefit of a test not only depends on test characteristics, such as sensitivity and specificity, but also on population characteristics and test consequences, such as management.2–4 Furthermore, the role of a new test in comparison to the existing testing scenario should be defined, since this influences the interpretation of the new test’s value. The following roles of new tests have been identified in the literature: triage, replacement, add-on, and parallel/combined.5 As with treatment, testing can have negative consequences, including physical impairment, psychological distress, disease labelling, and costs.6 There is limited evidence on harms of testing, and healthcare professionals often overestimate its benefits while underestimating its harms.7 This is also true for patients' expectations of testing.8 Additionally, testing occasionally yields unexpected and coincidental findings, which may result in additional testing and treatment. There is a lack of transparency in processing the evidence and considerations that support testing recommendations in guidelines.9 To facilitate the development of test recommendations, we determined the minimum required knowledge for guideline panel members involved, supplementing the competency-based framework available for guideline development.10 11 The concept of the test-management pathway (figure 1) appeared key to understand. Figure 1 Test-management pathway concept. During our developmental study, the need for practical examples of test-management pathways became apparent.10 In our subsequent teach-the-teacher workshop at the 2023 Guideline International Network conference,12 participants requested additional elaboration of pathways for different test outcomes (such as false positives and false negatives) being helpful for explaining the test-management pathway concept to guideline …","PeriodicalId":9059,"journal":{"name":"BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142254700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Design Cross-sectional observational study. Data source Publications in top quintile health and medical journals from August 2018 to October 2020 (Journal Citation Reports database). Eligibility criteria Infographics, abstracts and full texts of RCTs with non-significant results for a primary outcome. Main outcome(s) and measure(s) Presence of spin (any spin and spin in the results and conclusions of infographics, abstracts and full texts). Exposure(s) Conflicts of interest, industry sponsorship, trial registration, journal impact factor, spin in the abstract, spin in the full text. Results 119 studies from 40 journals were included. One-third (33%) of infographics contained spin. Infographics were not more likely to contain any spin than abstracts (33% vs 26%, OR 1.4; 95% CI 0.8 to 2.4) or full texts (33% vs 26%, OR 1.4; 95% CI 0.8 to 2.4). Higher journal impact factor was associated with slightly lower odds of spin in infographics and full texts, but not abstracts. Infographics, but not abstracts or full texts, were less likely to contain spin if the trial was prospectively registered. No other significant associations were found. Conclusions Nearly one-third of infographics spin the findings of RCTs with non-significant results for a primary outcome, but the prevalence of spin is not higher than in abstracts and full texts. Given the increasing popularity of infographics to disseminate research findings, there is an urgent need to improve the reporting of research in infographics.

The International Patient Decision Aids Standards (IPDAS) Collaboration has published many articles that guide this process. IPDAS, and others in this field, have considered the challenges of representing complex concepts such as effect sizes, ORs and relative risk rates in terms and formats that are easier to understand by people with varying levels of health literacy and numeracy. The underlying task is how to simplify research results without misleading people, which is essential when communicating healthcare information. Selecting outcome probabilities and comparing data collected from different populations with various study designs would be misleading. Further, only providing relative instead of absolute risk estimates would lead to misinterpretation in most situations, framing that affects both professionals and patients.1 For example, imagine a person with a 4% 10-year risk of breast cancer recurrence: telling that person their risk of breast cancer coming back could be cut in half, or reduced by 50%, using treatment Y (relative risk) is misleading. The more informative approach would be telling them their risk could be reduced from 4% to 2% (absolute risk), a risk that is perhaps even clearer if portrayed in natural frequency (n in 100). This article tackles the challenge of untangling complicated, heterogeneous evidence to deliver comparative information to non-scientists while at the same time avoiding misrepresenting the underlying data. Our focus here is to describe some of the editorial challenges of presenting complex scientific information, particularly when published as continuous outcomes in ways that are accurate yet accessible to a broad public, irrespective of their health literacy and numeracy levels. Those editorial challenges have materialised when developing tools to promote shared decision-making.
