Core Tip As meta-analyses are used more frequently and their findings reach a wider scope of people, it is the responsibility of researchers to use current guidelines and appropriately apply their findings to form valid conclusions. As researchers gain experience with this technique, we need to recognize that our methods may change over time. Meta-analysis remains a valuable tool for examining controversies arising from conflicting studies.
