Sagebiel R W·Pigment cell research
A patient survival model is proposed which allows visualization of a data base, and which includes only routine and commonly recorded attributes in most melanoma clinics. It is proposed that a network of such data be collected for meta-analysis (MELNET), which could make stratification within the individual subsets mor…

Systematic reviews, with or without meta-analysis, play an important role today in synthesizing cancer research and are frequently used to guide decision-making. However, there is now an increase in the number of systematic reviews on the same topic, thereby necessitating a systematic review of previous systematic revi…

One of the biggest challenges for network meta-analysis is inconsistency, which occurs when the direct and indirect evidence conflict. Inconsistency causes problems for the estimation and interpretation of treatment effects and treatment contrasts. Krahn and colleagues proposed the net heat approach as a graphical tool…

Bernstein Gail A·Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
Pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a common (2% prevalence) and potentially debilitating condition.Early identification and intervention are critical because they may improve outcomes for children and adolescents with OCD and prevent long-term morbidity. The individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis…

This letter provides feedback on the article Effect of electrical stimulation on the fusion rate after spinal surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis. The study highlights the clinical efficacy of electrical stimulation (ES) in enhancing fusion rates post-surgery. Future research should focus on identifying opti…
Sorjonen Kimmo, Melin Bo·PloS one
A recent meta-analysis, of 38 studies with data from 43 independent samples (total N = 24,668), claimed evidence for positive reciprocal prospective effects, and hence for both top-down and bottom-up processes, between general and domain-specific self-esteem. However, the meta-analytic cross-lagged effects were estimat…
Hill Andrew P·Journal of sport & exercise psychology
Meta-analysis is a powerful tool in sport and exercise psychology. However, it has a number of pitfalls, and some lead to ill-advised comparisons and overestimation of effects. The impetus for this research note is provided by a recent systematic review of meta-analyses that examined the correlates of sport performance…

INTRODUCTION: The relationship between weight gain and progression of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) has been investigated by many researchers but remains controversial. The incidence of IgAN is significantly higher in Asia than in other regions. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between weight gain and primary IgAN…

OBJECTIVE: A review of network meta-analysis to assess efficacy and safety of biologics for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis (PsA). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A systematic search was conducted on electronic databases to identify Bayesian meta-analysis reporting clinical parameters of efficacy, safety and cost-effectiv…
Moreau David, Gamble Beau·Psychological methods
Psychology researchers are rapidly adopting open science practices, yet clear guidelines on how to apply these practices to meta-analysis remain lacking. In this tutorial, we describe why open science is important in the context of meta-analysis in psychology, and suggest how to adopt the 3 main components of open scie…

MOTIVATION: Despite recent advances of modern GWAS methods, it is still remains an important problem of addressing calculation an effect size and corresponding p-value for the whole gene rather than for single variant. RESULTS: We developed an R package rqt, which offers gene-level GWAS meta-analysis. The package can…
Caldwell Deborah M, Welton Nicky J·Evidence-based mental health
Clinical and statistical heterogeneity are commonplace in meta-analysis of mental health interventions. One possible source of this heterogeneity is the complexity of the intervention being evaluated. Complexity may relate to the intervention, or to the way in which it is implemented; however, the most common interpret…
Lajeunesse Marc J·Ecology
Ecologists widely use the log response ratio for summarizing the outcomes of studies for meta-analysis. However, little is known about the sampling distribution of this effect size estimator. Here I show with a Monte Carlo simulation that the log response ratio is biased when quantifying the outcome of studies with sma…
