Meta-Analysis Workshops

Meta-analysis exists because evidence multiplies faster than it resolves: studies on the same clinical question routinely disagree, and the growing range of available technologies makes decisions harder rather than easier. These workshops taught researchers how to pool and interpret that evidence, in Review Manager and in STATA.

Courses in this series

Each course paired the statistical reasoning behind meta-analysis with practical work in the software.

Meta-Analysis with Review Manager

Software: RevManMedical dataRan three times

Medical evidence accumulates quickly and studies on the same question often disagree, which makes choosing the right treatment for a given patient progressively harder. This course taught meta-analysis as the method for resolving that, applied to medical data in Review Manager.

Sessions: 1 October 2015, 14 January 2016, and as a scheduled open course.

Meta-Analysis in STATA

Software: STATAMedical data

The same methodological ground — pooling results across studies to support clinical and research decisions — taught in STATA rather than Review Manager, for researchers already working in that environment.

Session: 5 March 2015.
