Abstract
A key question for meta-analyses is reliably assessing whether treatment effects vary across different participant groups, thereby informing how best to treat individual patients. However, it is possible that evidence of an interaction is driven by a different, confounding factor. In a methodological study, we are aiming to assess what methods currently exist to deal with confounding when estimating treatment-covariate interactions and what methods are currently being used in practice. In this protocol, we describe the methodology we are employing in this study.
