Speaking of crazy d values, this reminds me of this feature I was thinking about adding to the forest() function in metafor. #Rstats #MetaAnalysis

I'm so happy to see this monster finally out - a preregistered metaanalysis of youth personality-psychopathology associations with a bonus preregistered independent replication metaanalysis! Years in the making, now out in Psychological Bulletin.

​More evidence that car bloat is killing people:

New metaanalysis examined 600k+ crashes over 35 years.
Conclusion: Cyclists/pedestrians were 44% more likely to be killed if struck by an SUV/pickup than by a smaller car, and children were 82% more likely.

Conclusion of a new metaanalysis of 112 prior studies examining urban design & loneliness:

Residents are less lonely if their neighborhood offers green space, walkability, and proximity to amenities like bars, restaurants, and shops.

Disappointing that the data from this metaanalysis “may be available on request”. Why no open data?

A new version (5.0-1) of the metafor package has been released on CRAN. It includes some smaller updates, including more ways to visualize prediction intervals / distributions. Further details here: www.metafor-project.org/doku.php/new... #Rstats #MetaAnalysis

Amazing. Someone points out that the results of nudge metaanalysis are actually all publication bias. Original authors then brush it off with ”[being] a relatively young field … comes with some methodological growing pains.”

The standard random-effects model in meta-analysis assumes that the amount of heterogeneity is homoscedastic. This assumption may not be true. I derived and examined various tests for heteroscedastic heterogeneity. See osf.io/cavhy for a preprint describing these methods.

This data was the result of a metaanalysis of multiple verified research results and studies of death rates, mandates and political leaning. Low vaccination rates, masking and distancing differences were implicated.

Academic reviews paper citing a paper “by” reviewer that doesn’t exist. Discovers a version of the nonexistent paper in Google Scholar cited 42 times, including by a “metaanalysis”, that “gold standard” of research. The paper does not exist. Nobody citing it could have read it as it does not exist.
Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵

Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...

The first rule of meta-analysis: you are always about 90% finished.

In large meta-analyses, standard forest plot can become excessively large. One solution is to group the estimates together within studies. I just added an example to the metafor website illustrating this possibility:

Another exciting report from the Placebo Imaging Consortium - inspiring stuff! Individual-level metaanalysis, also known as MEGA-analysis 😁💪

Spent some time today playing around with the #Rstats package orchaRd 2.0

It offers a really nice way of visualizing #metaanalysis, especially moderator meta-regression models (with both categorical & continuous moderators!) #dataviz
