1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Meta-analyses have become indispensable in the behavioral sciences, combining and summarizing data from multiple studies. While they offer many advantages (e.g., increased power, higher generality, and resolving conflicting findings), they currently only provide a snapshot at a given point. In active research areas, frequent meta-analytic updates are necessary to incorporate new evidence. We propose guidelines for live, dynamic meta-analyses and introduce an accessible tool using the R environment. Our app, powered by the Shiny package, enables the meta-analyst to integrate evidence interactively as an update of an existing meta-analysis or from scratch (i.e., a new meta-analysis). By embracing dynamic meta-analyses and leveraging modern tools, researchers can ensure up-to-date meta-analyses in their respective fields.
