Objective: We aimed to determine whether the existing risk of bias assessment tools addressed constructs other than risk of bias or internal validity, and whether they used numerical scores to express quality, which is discouraged and may be a misleading approach.
Methods: We searched Ovid MEDLINE and Embase to identify quality appraisal tools across all disciplines in human health research. Tools designed specifically to evaluate reporting quality were excluded.

This tutorial focuses on opportunities and challenges associated with using six large, publicly accessible spatial databases published during the last decade by US federal agencies. These databases provide opportunities for researchers to risk-inform policy by comparing community asset, demographic, economic, and social data, along with anthropogenic and natural hazard data at multiple geographic scales. The opportunities for data analysis come with challenges, including data accuracy, variations in the shape and size of data cells, spatial autocorrelation, and other issues endemic to spatial datasets.

Background: The use of large multi-institutional databases in rotator cuff repair (RCR) research is expanding, but these studies are observational and cannot establish causation. This study examines the prevalence of causal language in clinical RCR database studies published from 2013 to 2022.
Methods: Administrative database and clinical registry studies on RCR published in eight orthopaedic journals from 2013 to 2022 were systematically identified and graded by two reviewers for the presence, absence, or inconsistent use of causal language in both the title/abstract and the full text.
