Meta-analyses for Scientific Publication Support
Pubrica’s team of skilled editors and medical writers specializes in conducting thorough Meta-analyses (hypothesis-driven), essential for crafting high-quality scientific research articles. Our experts rigorously summarize peer- reviewed medical literature, use meta-analyses techniques, explain the variability between different studies and articulate key research gaps, facilitating the creation of impactful publications in the scientific community.
⮚ Get an expert to identify, analyse and structure your comprehensive meta-analyses report efficiently, ensuring it meets professional and quality standards while accurately answering your research question.
⮚ Customize your meta-analyses report’s scope to align with your specific requirements and budget, providing a tailored approach for your unique needs.
⮚ Benefit from meta-analyses manuscript writing from professional medical expert who assists in identifying relevant literature, connects with your research question (PCOS), conduct meta-analysis, a statistical procedure used to numerically summarize the included studies and prepares a comprehensive research gap about the problem and its evidence.
As a general principle, generating, summarizing, and understanding the best available evidence are essential for establishing the benefits and safety of interventions. A well designed and implemented meta-analysis study can be a great benefit to society. While meta-analysis has the potential to be a powerful tool in evaluating health care treatments and interventions, there are many potential pitfalls and problems that are yet to be resolved. A poorly performed meta-analysis can perpetuate biases from ill-conceived studies or lead to false conclusions. This, in turn, can cause consumers and caregivers, who frequently access results of meta-analysis through websites and popular press, to form incorrect conclusions and can result in inappropriate medical decisions. While the idea behind combining studies to improve precision and power is straightforward, the actual implementation of the process is difficult. Those who act or react based on meta-analysis should understand the various biases that could be incorporated into a review. Examples of some potential pitfalls in meta-analysis include publication bias, pipeline bias, and English language bias. In addition, combining studies that are not similar in study design, population, methods of analysis or outcome definitions can lead to biases as well, which may result in spurious conclusions being drawn.
Guidelines for Reporting:Moreover, a useful guide to improve reporting of systematic reviews and meta-analysis is the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-analysis) statement that replaced the QUOROM (Quality of Reporting of Meta-analysis) statemen.
| Network meta-analyses | Meta-analysis using individual Patient data (IPD) | Meta-analysis for Prevalence and cumulative incidence |
| Meta-analysis of interventions and therapies | Meta-analysis using Aggregate Patient data | Meta-regression |
| Systematic review with meta-analyses | Umbrella review (meta-analysis of Meta-analyses) | Qualitative meta-synthesis |
| Meta-analysis using RCT | Non-randomized Interventional Study | Analytical Study |
| Case Series | Diagnostic Accuracy Study | Animal study (pre-clinical study) |
| Clinical practice guidelines | Bayesian Meta-analyses | Meta-epidemiological methodology research |
| Prospective meta-analyses |
Pubrica’s advanced Meta-analyses analyses manuscript services provide specialized support to researchers and clinicians ensuring your research meets the medical publication standards of various journals.
Our scientific and medical experts craft your meta-analyses adhering to specific reporting guidelines such as the MARS (Appelbaum et al., 2018) and PRISMA (Moher et al., 2009) along with clear and upfront potential personal or financial conflicts of interest (COIs), ensuring precision and relevance. We also utilize guidelines specific to the studies, for instance, to report RCT studies, Pubrica apply QUORUM, and for observational studies MOOSE
We meticulously follow the journal-specified structure, covering keywords, utilize different database (CINAHL, PsycINFO) and extract key data summary (including author, year, details of included studies, DOIs, or PubMed IDs, among others), analyse quality of the included studies using standard tools specific to the studies (e.g. the JADA scale for RCT, the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for non-randomized studies, QUADAS-2 for the quality assessment of diagnostic accuracy studies. background, material and methods, results and discussion with tables summary of the gap analysis, discussion and conclusion including limitations and future directions along with supplementary table.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Pubrica’s meta-analysis experts can assist with this. You need to share the outcomes you wish to analyze. However, in most cases, the selected papers may not have sufficient information for data extraction. For instance, we need variables as per your protocol, such as mean differences between baseline and control/placebo, hazard ratios (HR), odds ratios (OR), percentage differences, or any other relevant outcomes. These should be consistent across the studies. Please ensure you verify these details before submitting your papers for meta-analysis.
Yes, 3–4 papers are sufficient for a meta-analysis. In fact, even two studies can be analyzed, provided they can be meaningfully pooled and their results are similar. However, to achieve higher statistical power than individual studies, at least five studies with similar outcome variables (e.g., hazard ratio, total sample size, and 95% confidence interval for both the baseline/experimental group and control group) are recommended. That said, there is no strict restriction—systematic reviews and meta-analyses aim to achieve saturation. This is why all MeSH terms are used to identify studies. The more studies with similar outcomes, the stronger the conclusion.
Yes, Pubrica can assist in analyzing the data. As mentioned earlier, even a minimum of two studies is sufficient if the outcome variables are the same. However, a key challenge with a small number of studies is estimating between-study heterogeneity, which may result in overly broad or narrow confidence intervals.
No. One of the critical criteria for conducting a meta-analysis is that all outcomes must be comparable, and all interventions and comparators must be the same—or at least similar enough—to allow meaningful pooling.
We use RevMan and STATA for analysis. If you require a specific tool, please let us know, and we will analyze the data using your preferred software.
A Gap Analysis Service involves identifying the differences between the current state of research or knowledge in a specific field and the desired state or goals. This service helps in pinpointing areas that require further investigation or development.
This service is beneficial for researchers, academic institutions, healthcare organizations, policy-makers, and any entity involved in research and development who seek to understand current knowledge limitations and identify areas for future exploration.
Our service can identify various types of gaps, including methodological, knowledge, practical application, technological, and data-related gaps.
The gap analysis is conducted through a systematic review of existing literature, data evaluation, and consultation with experts in the field. It may involve qualitative and quantitative methods to assess current knowledge and practices against established benchmarks or goals.
Yes, our Gap Analysis Service is highly customizable to cater to specific research areas, disciplines, or industry sectors.
