They aim to assess the potential size and scope of available research literature (often including ongoing research) and the level of synthesis currently available. Meta-Analysis in this journal should use statistical analysis that combines the results of several scientific studies carried out when several scientific studies address the same question, with each study reporting measurements that are expected to have some degree of error.   A statistical analysis that combines the results of several scientific studies. Meta-analysis can be performed when several scientific studies address the same question, with each study reporting measurements that are expected to have some degree of error. The goal is then to use a statistical approach to obtain a combined estimate closest to an unknown general truth based on how this error is perceived.
