I am a masters student critically analysing meta‐analysis, please help
The study found a small significant effect size using a Cohen’s d test d = 0.28, 95% CI, p < 0.001. Is this a correct interpretation?
The result of the odd ratio test was significant, OR = 1.79, 95% CI, p < 0.001. Is this correctly written?
However, when analysing the effect of the test, significant heterogeneity in the outcome effect sizes (d’s) between studies was found, Q(50) = 657.3, p < 0.001, I2 = 92.39. This static is extremely high and indicates that 92.39% of the results were due to heterogeneity and shows inconsistency across the studies used. Have I written this correctly?
Contrastingly, on the other effect test significant heterogeneity in the study was not found, Q(27) = 34.76, p = 0.15, I2 = 22.33, which suggests the effect found was not due to heterogeneity. Is this correctly interpreted?
A meta-regression was conducted to investigate the heterogeneity, the preference outcome effect was found to depend on the study design, QB(3) = 13.76, p = 0.003, the type of outcome that was assessed, QB(2) = 13.60, p = 0.001, and the timing of outcome measurement, QB(1) = 5.73, p = 0.02. Is this written as it should be?
The overall effect in this meta-analysis was small, d = 0.28, but significant. Is this correct?
Any help would be amazing!!! I'm a counselling student so statistics isn't really my thing and I'm really struggling!!
