🔬 Can we trust every published result?

In our immunotherapy meta-analysis, the funnel plot appeared roughly symmetrical, yet Egger’s test suggested small-study effects (p = 0.0174).

This is a signal to investigate—not proof of publication bias.

Infographic on publication bias in meta-analysis. A schematic funnel plot appears roughly symmetrical, while an Egger’s test graphic reports small-study effects (p = 0.0174). It emphasizes that statistical asymmetry does not prove publication bias. Can We Trust Every Published Result? 🔬 What happens if studies reporting positive results are more likely to be published than studies with disappointing or inconclusive findings? We may end up overestimating how effective a treatment really is. This is one of the concerns behind publication bias. While working on our immunotherapy meta-analysis, we examined this possibility using funnel plots and Egger's regression test. Interestingly, the funnel plot appeared approximately symmetrical at first glance, but Egger's test suggested small-study effects. This did not automatically prove publication bias. Differences in study populations, clinical heterogeneity, and methodological factors could also contribute. But it reminded me why critical appraisal cannot stop at the reported results. A statistically significant finding is not automatically a complete or unbiased representation of the available evidence. And perhaps the most interesting question is: What might the studies we never get to read have told us? Assessing scientific evidence means thinking not only about what has been published, but also about what may be missing. #PublicationBias #MetaAnalysis #CriticalAppraisal #EvidenceBasedMedicine #ResearchMethods

📊 A pooled response rate can hide substantial variation.

In our meta-analysis of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy in advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, pooled ORR was 51%, but heterogeneity was high (I² = 89.13%).

Why did studies differ? Full reflection in image ALT text.

#MetaAnalysis
Infographic summarizing an anti-PD-1/PD-L1 meta-analysis in advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma: 48 studies, 4,172 patients, pooled ORR 51%, and substantial heterogeneity (I² = 89.13%). It highlights differences by study design (cohort 57% vs interventional 43%, p = 0.002) and geographic location (p = 0.014); drug type was not significant in meta-regression (p = 0.679). Why an Average Doesn't Always Tell the Whole Story 📊 Imagine several clinical studies investigating the same treatment, but reporting very different results. Combining their findings gives us an overall estimate. But does that number tell us everything? While working on our cancer immunotherapy meta-analysis, one of the most important concepts I explored was heterogeneity. Despite obtaining a pooled treatment response estimate, we observed substantial variation across studies. Further analyses suggested that factors such as study design and geographic location were associated with some of these differences. And this raises an important methodological point. Two studies can investigate the same treatment while involving different patient populations, eligibility criteria, and clinical settings. Their findings may therefore differ for reasons that go beyond random variation. This is why interpreting a meta-analysis requires more than looking at its pooled effect. Sometimes understanding why studies disagree is just as valuable as calculating their average. For me, this is one of the most useful lessons in evidence synthesis: a summary statistic is only as informative as the context in which we interpret it. #MetaAnalysis #Heterogeneity #Biostatistics #ClinicalResearch #EvidenceSynthesis Forest plot of objective response rates (ORR) across 48 studies in a meta-analysis of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy for advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. Each study has an effect estimate and 95% confidence interval. The random-effects pooled ORR is 0.51 (95% CI 0.46–0.55), with substantial between-study heterogeneity (I² = 89.13%).

Untreated TB increases substantially with age, with poorer case detection in older adults.
