Meta-analysis corresponds to all systematic methods which use statistical techniques for combining results from several independent studies. The aim is to get a consistent estimation of the global effect of a procedure on a specified outcome. The technique allows us to increase the power of statistical testing, and to get information which cannot be ...

Statistics in Medicine, 2003
AbstractMeta‐analysis is now a standard statistical tool for assessing the overall strength and interesting features of a relationship, on the basis of multiple independent studies. There is, however, recent acknowledgement of the fact that in many applications responses are rarely uniquely determined.

There are often multiple potential interventions to treat a disease; therefore, we need a method for simultaneously comparing and ranking all of these available interventions. In contrast to pairwise meta-analysis, which allows for the comparison of one intervention to another based on head-to-head data from randomized trials, network meta-analysis ...

Indian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2020
Meta-analysis is an approach to formally, systematically and quantitatively analyze multiple existing research studies and to synthesize new research findings based upon the existing data. Until the late 1970s, meta-analyses were not regularly reported in the medical literature, but since then there has been an exponential growth of meta-analyses and ...

In spite of an abundance of data, the empirical evidence as yet does not make clear whether meta-analysis will bring about progress in psychological science. Therefore, it is still useful and desirable to engage in rational analysis of the methodology.
