Meta-Analysis/ Panoramic Meta-analysis

Meta-analysis manuscripts report the results of systematic assessment and new statistical analysis of existing independent studies using a formal, epidemiological, quantitative study design. This submission type should include a mathematical synthesis of the results of two or more primary studies that address a similar research question in the same manner. Meta-analysis manuscripts must clearly describe methods used to compute effect size across the studies.

Panoramic meta-analysis manuscripts report the results of new statistical analysis of multiple previously conducted meta-analyses to strengthen the understanding of a particular topic.
