		Bias-Aware Evidence Synthesis in Systematic Reviews // Implements
		a bias-aware framework for evidence synthesis in systematic
		reviews and health technology assessments, as described in
		Kabali (2025) doi:10.1111/jep.70272. The package models study-
		level effect estimates by explicitly accounting for multiple
		sources of bias through prior distributions and propagates
		uncertainty using posterior simulation. Evidence across studies
		is combined using posterior mixture distributions rather than a
		single pooled likelihood, enabling probabilistic inference on
		clinically or policy-relevant thresholds. The methods are
		designed to support transparent decision-making when study
		relevance and bias vary across the evidence base.
