Publication Bias Assessment SOP

Design the complete publication bias detection and adjustment protocol using visual, statistical, and model-based methods.

When to Use

• After effect sizes are extracted (need precision estimates)
• When assessing GRADE certainty (publication bias domain)
• When deciding whether pooled estimate may be inflated

Input

• effect_size_distribution: Summary of extracted effect sizes and their precision
• study_count: Number of included studies (determines which methods are feasible)

Output

Complete publication bias assessment protocol with method selection justified by study count and data characteristics.

Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

SOP	When to use
spawn-agent	Spawn a customized CC subagent with full MCP tool access. Used by SOPs that declare execution: subagent.
