Systematic reviews of meta-analyses: applications and limitations

Year: 2006

Type: review

Abstract: Systematic reviews of meta‐analysis can provide helpful insights in several aspects of meta‐analysis: quality of published meta‐analyses, statistical methods, publication bias and its determinants, and on the causes of heterogeneity. However, they present limitations, mostly derived from the current statistical procedures applied to detect some facts, such as publication bias and heterogeneity.
