Abstract
In a simplistic term, meta-analysis is described as 'a statistical analysis that combines or integrates the results of several independent clinical trials considered by the analyst to be combinable'. It requires the same methodological rigor that is applied to other forms of research. It is increasingly reported to measure various effects sizes in the medical literature to establish with statistical confidence the risks and benefits of a particular clinical intervention.
