HS4160 Critical Scientific Analysis

Objectives Understand and evaluate the key components of the meta-analysis paper. Learn how to conduct literature search for the meta-analysis study. Understand forest plot presented. Review statistical measurement used. Evaluate strength and weakness of the meta-analysis paper.

Meta-analysis A statistical analysis of a collection of studies. Contrasting and comparing results from different studies. Synthetic goal - identifying consistent patterns among different studies. Analytic goal - identifying sources of disagreements among different studies.

Major Steps

Type of Data

Questions should ask 1. What is the summary measure? 2. What does the forest plot show? 3. What does the pooled effect (average effect) mean? 4. Was it valid to combine studies? Bravata DM, Smith-Spangler C, Sundaram V, et al. JAMA. 2007:298:2296-304.)
