<(I don't know if this helps you directly, but there is a message <here, that at least a few of us have a lot of *scorn* for what <some meta-analyses have pretended to show us... just another <inept literature review, but decorated with numbers). <Rich Ulrich, biostatistician wpilib+@pitt.edu <Western Psychiatric Inst. and Clinic Univ. of Pittsburgh Perhaps what such metaanalyses actually show is that the individual studies can not be interpreted ... not an inept literature review but a inconclusive quantitative review of inept research (and research reporting). If you can't interpret studies as a group how can you interpret them individually? If you want to be able to interpret individual studies conduct and report them so that they can be conclusively metaanalized. Keith O'Rourke The Toronto Hosp.
