Meta-analysis: How do you know which data is generic and which is continuous (Please give examples)?
Fascinating. How can researchers ensure that the studies they are including in a meta-analysis are of high quality?
There are a few ways researchers can ensure high-quality studies are included in a meta-analysis. One way is to set inclusion criteria that specify the type of studies that will be included. Additionally, researchers can use quality assessment tools to evaluate the studies and exclude studies of poor quality. Finally, researchers can conduct sensitivity analyses to test how robust the results are to different inclusion criteria and to identify sources of heterogeneity across studies.
