Dietary interventions vs octreotide for post liver transplantation chylous ascites: A scoping review

Table 3 summarizing the bias assessment

Type of bias	Description	Impact on study
Selection bias	Participants may not have been randomly selected, leading to potential skewing of outcomes	May affect the generalizability of findings; results may not reflect the broader population
Reporting bias	Positive outcomes may be reported more prominently than negative or inconclusive results	Can lead to an overestimation of treatment effectiveness and misrepresentation of intervention success
Confounding factors	Lack of control for variables such as severity of chylous ascites and comorbidities	May obscure true treatment effects and complicate the interpretation of results
Publication bias	Studies with favorable results are more likely to be published than those with negative results	Can create a skewed perception of the effectiveness of treatments, leading to biased conclusions
Data quality bias	Variability in the quality of data collection across studies may introduce errors	Affects the reliability of findings and the overall conclusions drawn from the review
