Missing participant outcome data (MOD) are ubiquitous in clinical trials and may threaten the validity of the results. The risk of bias associated with MOD is carried over to the meta-analysis by including clinical trials with participant losses.1 In this
section, we discuss MOD, and we present common statistical methods to address MOD in a pairwise metaanalysis. Despite their conceptual and statistical shortcomings, these methods have prevailed in the published systematic reviews for their simplicity.
