Is there bias in the publication of individual patient data meta-analyses? by Tierney, J, Clarke, M, Stewart, L

“…Meta-analysis of individual patient data (IPD) may represent a gold standard of "secondary" clinical research, giving the best possible summary of current evidence for a particular question, but publication of these may also be subject to bias. …”

What is a mood stabilizer? by Goodwin, G, Malhi, G

“…However, in reality, few drugs with perhaps the exception of lithium, come close to this gold standard; yet many agents aspire to the title, and some have arguably achieved it prematurely. …”

Autoregressive neural-network wavefunctions for ab initio quantum chemistry by Barrett, TD, Malyshev, A, Lvovsky, AI

“…This allows us to perform electronic structure calculations on molecules with up to 30 spin orbitals—at least an order of magnitude more Slater determinants than previous applications of conventional neural-network quantum states—and we find that our ansatz can outperform the de facto gold-standard coupled-cluster methods even in the presence of strong quantum correlations. …”

Paracheck-Pf: a new, inexpensive and reliable rapid test for P. falciparum malaria. by Proux, S, Hkirijareon, L, Ngamngonkiri, C, McConnell, S, Nosten, F

“…The specificity, sensitivity, predictive positive and negative values of the Paracheck-PfR and ICT-PfR tests were calculated taking microscopy results as the gold standard. The 294 ICT-Pf/Pv tests resulted in two invalid (no control line) and 11 doubtful results. …”

A review of fetal ECG signal processing issues and promising directions by Sameni, R, Clifford, G

“…This is, partly due to a lack of availability of gold standard databases, partly due to the relatively low signal-to-noise ratio of the fetal ECG compared to the maternal ECG (caused by the various media between the fetal heart and the measuring electrodes, and the fact that the fetal heart is simply smaller), and in part, due to the less complete clinical knowledge concerning fetal cardiac function and development. …”
