报告简介

As a powerful tool for synthesizing information from multiple studies, meta-analysis has enjoyed high popularity in many disciplines. Conclusions stemming from meta-analyses are often used to direct theory development, calibrate sample size planning, and guide decision making or policy making. However, meta-analyses can be conflicted, misleading, and irreproducible. One of the reasons for meta-analyses to be misleading is the improper handling of unreliability. We showed via a simulation study that current meta-analysis procedures with or without corrections for unreliability frequently detected nonexistent effects, and provided severely biased estimates and interval estimates with coverage rates far below the intended level. A better approach to correcting for unreliability was proposed and evaluated via a simulation study.
