| We will explain the concept of meta-analysis and discuss common criticisms, such as "apples and oranges," and conflicts between meta-analyses and clinical trials. We'll explain how to compute treatment effects, synthesize data using various computational models, use ANOVA and meta-regression, create forest plots, and address the potential impact of publication bias. We will show how to accomplish these tasks using Comprehensive Meta Analysis Version 2, a new program developed with funding from the National Institutes of Health. The course is intended for people who need to perform or interpret meta-analyses in their work. Attendees should have some familiarity with meta-analysis, but the course will cover the basics before moving on to more advanced topics. | ||
