| Abstract: | The article addresses a critique regarding the risk of bias assessment methods used in a systematic review of vaping and smoking behaviors. The authors emphasize their commitment to transparency and methodological rigor, noting that their risk of bias tool was pre-registered and developed with input from experts in the field. They argue that while the critique focuses on their assessment tool, it does not adequately address the findings of their review, which suggests a complex relationship between vaping and smoking behaviors. The authors advocate for a triangulation of study designs to enhance scientific robustness, asserting that their conclusions remain valid despite the criticisms raised. [Extracted from the article] |
