    • QUOTE: ... In general, clinical studies are designed to add to medical knowledge related to the treatment, diagnosis, and prevention of diseases or conditions. Some common reasons for conducting clinical studies include:
      • Evaluating one or more interventions (for example, drugs, medical devices, approaches to surgery or radiation therapy) for treating a disease, syndrome, or condition
      • Finding ways to prevent the initial development or recurrence of a disease or condition. These can include medicines, vaccines, or lifestyle changes, among other approaches.
      • Evaluating one or more interventions aimed at identifying or diagnosing a particular disease or condition
      • Examining methods for identifying a condition or the risk factors for that condition

      Figure 1 Evidence pyramid.
 The hierarchy of evidence and the role of the individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis in knowledge creation is presented. The reliability of evidence needed for evidence-informed decision-making in health increases as we move up the pyramid. It is expected that IPD meta-analysis would speed the knowledge creation.
