Wang et al. (2021) found that the methodological quality of Campbell reviews of intervention effectiveness published between 2011 and 2018 improved over time, and particularly after the introduction of the 2014 Methodological Expectations for Conducting Campbell Intervention Reviews (MECCIR) (Wang et al., 2021).

Based on this assessment, Campbell provided feedback to all editorial teams on the quality of reviews and areas for improvement. We decided to conduct a follow-up analysis to evaluate the quality of Campbell reviews published since 2018 and compare the findings with the baseline assessment to identify areas where improvements are still needed. We conducted the quality assessment of Campbell systematic reviews of intervention effectiveness published in the past 5 years (February 2018 to November 2022) using the AMSTAR 2.0 tool (Shea et al., 2017). A total of 77 intervention reviews were included. All analyses were conducted using R software...
