Estimates of heterogeneity (I2) can be biased in small meta-analyses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In meta-analysis, the fraction of variance that is due to heterogeneity is known as I2. We show that the usual estimator of I2 is biased. The bias is largest when a meta-analysis has few studies and little heterogeneity.
