Trial sequence meta-analysis can reject false-positive result calculated from conventional meta-analysis

Year: 2014

Type: letter

Abstract: treatments investigated thus far. However, we would like to comment on the potential risk for false-positive results (i.e., report a treatment effect when in reality there is no effect) generated by conventional meta-analysis (relying on the conventional statistical criterion (two-sided a 5 0.05) for deciding whether a treatment effect exists).
