The phrase "a single summary of" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when referring to a concise overview or encapsulation of a larger body of information.
Example: "The report provides a single summary of the key findings from the research study."
Alternatives: "a concise overview of" or "a brief synopsis of".
Systematic reviews make this task easier by offering a single summary of studies from different settings.
A single summary of findings from these studies is difficult given the wide variation of tasks from spatial to verbal and resting state as well as populations ranging from eugonadal and hypogonadal.
To increase precision and to obtain a single summary of the results from NHS and NHS II, a random effects model (DerSimmonian and Laird, 1986) was used to combine the RRs and to test for heterogeneity of results (P<0.05).
Interpretation of these results is limited by both small sample size and the use of a single summary measure of genome-wide DNA methylation.
Although our system precludes the use of random-effects models in determining a single summary estimate of treatment effect, the use of these models does have an important role.
The Hosmer-Lemeshow Goodness of Fit test examines model calibration across a range of predicted probabilities [ 13], producing a single summary measure of the match between predicted and actual outcomes within deciles of the data.
Generic, preference-based measures provide a single summary score of HRQL outcomes, an integral part of the quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) estimation, a measure which has been widely used in cost-effectiveness analyses of health interventions [ 8, 14].
Based on the effect size collected from each selected study, the meta-analysis performed the statistical synthesis of the data and produced a single summary effect of which the statistical significance was also assessed [34].
As Feeny argued in another context [ 7], one reason for going on using preference based measures is that these instruments provide a single summary score of outcomes that facilitate their interpretation and integration of the same in formulae to calculate the cost-effectiveness ratio in economic evaluations of health interventions.
If heterogeneity cannot be explained by meta-regression, then our system precludes one from presenting a single summary estimate of treatment effect (i.e., a stability rating of "Unstable") (see Note 3).
In summary, if interest is in a single summary measure of survival we do not see a considerable advantage of the Pohar Perme estimate over the age-standardized Ederer II estimate and a benefit of the latter for longer term follow-up due to improved precision.
