I am not part of the review team, but NOS is a reasonable candidate for assessing QUANTITATIVE, non-randomized studies such as cohort studies, pre-post studies. They originally planned to use a tool for mixed methodology — which arguably does not work well here.

Even if Cass review were to stick to the original scale, the studies would still “not be high quality”. It is not ideal situation that systematic review authors make changes to their method, but reasonable people would agree we should not kill reviews because of plan changes.

A reasonable peer reviewer would not reject results because the systematic review authors changed a scale. Instead, he or she would ask: what is your rationale of changing the scale, is the change justified? What is the impact of changing? So tell me what is the problem?

Medical decision analysis can be challenging to understand and apply in clinical practice or systems decision-making. This recent Users’ Guide does a great job of explaining decision analysis and guiding its practical use. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34226025/
Considering patient and public values and preferences is a crucial part of every clinical practice guideline. Guideline panels should search relevant evidence. GRADE summary of findings tables enhanced understanding of values and preferences evidence. jclinepi.com/article/S0895-…

Listening to evidence (what 🇬🇧 doing with the Cass review) or listening to experts (what CBC journalists doing) Could be different!

They did not bother to read the report before criticizing it
In these critiques of the quality of the 53 studies analyzed, the review authors point to key areas where future researchers could improve the quality of studies. For example, the finding that most studies weren't controlling for key important variables, like pubertal stage.
The systematic lit reviews of pediatric gender-transition treatment that have used the GRADE system to assess the quality of studies findings have all found that they are no better than low quality and are often very low quality, yielding inconsistent, unclear conclusions about…
@ThomasAgoritsas Then I think professionals should acknowledge the value of the Cass review, and use this report as a useful starting point for consensus, or resource for shared decision making, rather than attacking it or ignoring it? @jack_turban
If health professionals providing gender affirming care have been doing “shared decision making”, they must have admitted and informed children and families that the evidence is poor (like the Cass review has found). Have they done so? Or are they busy attacking the Cass review?

If medical professionals were to avoid awful medical scandals, we need to self regulate. And the first step is to admit mistakes. Overtreatment in children and adolescents’ development is a mistake. Gender medicine for left is ivermectin for right. Be brave and admit wrongdoings.

Critics of the methodology of the systematic reviews that form the basis of the Cass Review are displaying their limited understanding of research methods and evidence based medicine — but that’s what got us into this mess in the first place
