Journal Article
(2019). A guide to systematic review and meta-analysis of prognostic factor studies. BMJ, https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.k4597

Prognostic factors are associated with the risk of future health outcomes in individuals with a particular health condition or some clinical start point (eg, a particular diagnosis). Research to identify genuine prognostic factors is important becaus... Read More about A guide to systematic review and meta-analysis of prognostic factor studies..

Journal Article
Osborn, H. P., Kenworthy, M., Rodriguez, J. E., de Mooij, E. J. W., Kennedy, G. M., Relles, H., …Zhou, G. (2019). The PDS 110 observing campaign – photometric and spectroscopic observations reveal eclipses are aperiodic.

PDS 110 is a young disc-hosting star in the Orion OB1A association. Two dimming events of similar depth and duration were seen in 2008 (WASP) and 2011 (KELT), consistent with an object in a closed periodic orbit. In this paper, we present data from a...
