Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 6 EBP 0798 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Meta-Analysis
Captions available
The idea
A meta-analysis is a statistical combination of the results of the studies in a review, producing a single pooled estimate.
In practice
Several trials' results combined into one effect estimate.
Where people slip
A meta-analysis sits inside a systematic review as an optional step. Every meta-analysis is a systematic review; not every systematic review has one.
