The purpose of this roundtable is to gather researchers interested in meta-analysis and facilitate a discussion among them about recent statistical methods for evidence synthesis, with the focus on medical decisionmaking. Particular attention will be given to methods for Bayesian meta-analysis of diagnostic test studies. Meta-analysis software also will be discussed.
