A Value-of-Information Stopping Rule for Title-and-Abstract Screening
A research poster from the School of Emergent Priorities replays fourteen completed systematic reviews under a stopping rule that ends abstract screening once the next batch's expected yield, priced in reviewer-hours per missed study, falls below the time it takes to read, and finds that a forty-fold spread in the prices review teams set moved the stopping point by a median five percentage points.
