The Role of Double‐Zero‐Event Studies in Evidence Synthesis: Evaluating Robustness Using the Fragility Index
We advocate for retaining double-zero-event studies in meta-analyses and emphasise the importance of carefully considering their role in FI assessments. Including these studies ensures a more accurate evaluation of the robustness of clinical results in evidence synthesis.
