We based subsidiary assessments involving circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D cut-offs (defined as 21-29, 10-20, and <10 ng/mL) 2 37 38 compared with the reference category (≥30 ng/mL) on combining comparable risk ratio estimates across studies, using random effects meta-analyses (and additionally using fixed effect models).
Assessments for standardised categories of fish consumption (2-4 times a week and ≥5 times a week) and cerebrovascular risk compared with a reference category (≤1 a week) were based on combining comparable relative risk estimates across studies using random effects meta-analyses.
A meta-analysis was performed to combine comparable results in each category by using Review Manager (version 5.2.11, The Nordic Cochrane Centre, The Cochrane Collaboration, Copenhagen, Denmark, 2014).
Some models were run after creating indicator variables for any biomass stove, any kerosene stove, and any gas stove, combining comparable primary and secondary stove types.
Meta-analysis is a powerful statistical method to combine comparable studies to increase the sample size and statistical power, thereby allowing a more compelling result to be drawn [ 46].
We also created indicator variables for any biomass stove, any kerosene stove and any gas stove, combining comparable primary and secondary stove types, and ran these in a model adjusted for the covariates in the final model (Table 3).
Combining comparable phenotypes with easy and fast analysis makes budding yeast an excellent model for examining pathologies of human polymerase γ (Barrientos 2003; Baruffini et al. 2006, 2007, 2011, 2014; Baruffini and Lodi 2010; Foury and Kucej 2002; Lodi et al. 2015; Stuart et al. 2006; Stricker et al. 2009; Stumpf et al. 2010; Stumpf and Copeland 2011, 2013, 2014; Szczepanowska and Foury 2010).
Compared to HIP, SLPS promises lower manufacturing costs combined with comparable mechanical properties.
The growth indices of plants exposed to the herbivores, individually and combined, were comparable, and significantly lower than in the control treatments.
When the fractions are combined, a comparable number of iNKT cells were recovered by either perfusion or by the traditional methods (Fig 2b).
