Thank you. Very good explanation and helped a lot. So whenever the researcher says he or she is using a regression model to analysis, he is performing a meta-analysis or can a regression model be used for a regular primary study? What is the difference between a regression model approach and a matching method?
A regression model can be used in a primary study. The author of the systematic review can use the results from the primary study in the meta-analysis of systematic review.
Thank you for the video, it really helps to start understanding the difference between lit review and meta-analysis. A question though, I wonder the differences (if exist) between those two methods in terms of the contributions to a field. How do they differ? And what's the first indicator of a good quality meta-analysis paper? Thank you
Good question. Both make a contribution to the field, as best as they can. A systematic review with meta-analysis ranks higher in terms of levels of evidence, than just a systematic review. Review the contents of a systematic review with meta-analysis against the PRISMA checklist.
I wanna know about Meta-Review...I think it is the review of systematic reviews or meta-analyses....I wanna know what components does its research proposal and thesis consist of?
Does it mean systematic reviews (without meta-analysis) make a conclusion without statistics? I'm a little confused.Thanks very much for your reply. :) :)
