Summary
The PRISMA extensions for NMA and ScR were published in 2015 and 2018. Since then, their methodologies and innovations, including automation, have evolved. There is no reporting guideline for RRs. In 2020, an updated PRISMA statement was published reflecting advances in the conduct and reporting of systematic reviews. These advances are not yet incorporated into these PRISMA extensions. We will update our previous methods scoping reviews to inform the update of PRISMA-NMA and PRISMA-ScR and development of PRISMA-RR reporting guidelines.
Objective: To develop a list of items for potential inclusion in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) reporting guidelines for network meta-analysis (NMA), scoping review (ScR), and rapid review (RR).
Involvement of patient partners: Our team involves patient partners with expertise in reporting guidelines and SRs. We will benefit from the inclusion of multiple patient partners who co-lead the patient engagement strategy for the CIHR funded PRISMA-COSMIN guideline, which will inform the strategy we use for our PRISMA extensions.
Key Findings: Coming soon!

*Patient Partner: These individuals could be patients (an individual with a health condition), family members of a patient (e.g. parent, spouse, adult child or other close family member of a patient not capable of decision-making), caregivers (family, relative, friends or neighbours providing unpaid assistance to someone with a health condition/limitation), people with lived experience (those with first-hand experience of the topic of interest,), or members of the public at large.
