Hi all, thanks for watching! I have more tutorials using Excel for meta-analysis and systematic review practices, the full list is found here: ru-vid.com/group/PLMDcoG6cxhI0EaLoG9jG7fmf22YIUjD-o
It took me 3 days but yeessssss!!! I did it! One of my effect sizes was zero and the V (var/covar) matrix kept returning #NUM. I broke down the components of the matrix and discovered the problem was with the transposed diagonal(?) but couldn't figure out what was off. I finally got an Excel savvy colleague to look at it, and he found that zero to be the "tripping point". Novice excel user here, cutting my teeth on 'Hard boiled' stuff 😅. Thank you Dr. Marc 👏. Next stop 👉the plots
It depends on the effect size metric, for things like the risk ratio a log scale is preferred, but for other metrics like g or d, then it is not typically used
I have completed a meta analysis with effect sizes, and am looking to investigate further using meta regression. I was wondering if you have a guide to use the metareg function on stata
