In recent years, there has been a great increase in production of systematic reviews of traditional Chinese medicines (TCM). However,some researchers indicated that their methodology and reporting quality were unsatisfactory. This article offered some recommendations for performing high-quality systematic reviews of TC…

Darlington R B, Hayes A F·Psychological methods
The Stouffer z method, and other popular methods for combining p values from independent significance tests, suffer from three problems: vulnerability to criticisms of the individual studies being pooled, difficulty in handling the "file drawer problem," and vague conclusions. These problems can be reduced or eliminate…

Olkin I·Statistics in medicine
Recent concern about the effectiveness of alternative treatments in medicine and health, in education, in psychology, and in the social sciences has led to a consideration of how to combine or synthesize the results of independent studies. Historically, integration of independent results focused on how to combine p-val…
Chen Jiayu, Wang Yipeng, Lin Lifeng·Journal of evidence-based medicine
Meta-analyses of correlation coefficients are widely used to synthesize evidence on associations among variables in psychology, medicine, education, and the social sciences, yet practical guidance on how to implement these analyses in standard software remains limited. In this article, we provide a step-by-step introdu…
Azaad Shaheed·Behavior research methods
Theoretically driven meta-analyses often involve testing whether study characteristics moderate an effect in a pattern that supports one of multiple competing theoretical accounts. To conduct such analyses, researchers must manually extract, i.e., code, these characteristics from sometimes hundreds of studies. Ideally,…
Wang Guanbo, McGrath Sean, Lian Yi·Research synthesis methods
Researchers would often like to leverage data from a collection of sources (e.g., meta-analyses of randomized trials, multi-center trials, pooled analyses of observational cohorts) to estimate causal effects in a target population of interest. However, because different data sources typically represent different underl…
Hopkins Will G, Rowlands David S·Statistics in medicine
Meta-analysts often use standardized mean differences (SMD) to combine mean effects from studies in which the dependent variable has been measured with different instruments or scales. In this tutorial we show how the SMD is properly calculated as the difference in means divided by a between-subject reference-group, co…
Doleman Brett, Mathiesen Ole, Jakobsen Janus C, +4 more·British journal of anaesthesia
Systematic reviews and meta-analyses (SRMAs) are increasing in popularity, but should they be used to inform clinical decision-making in anaesthesia? We present evidence that the certainty of evidence from SRMAs in anaesthesia (and in general) may be unacceptably low because of risks of bias exaggerating treatment effe…

Varying methods for evaluating the outcomes of single case research designs (SCD) are currently used in reviews and meta-analyses of interventions. Quantitative effect size measures are often presented alongside visual analysis conclusions. Six measures across two classes-overlap measures (percentage non-overlapping da…
