Just as the detailed study of ancient arthropods led Dr. Eldredge to discern an unsuspected pattern in biological evolution, so he hopes that by studying cornets he can find "a meta-theoretical, structural framework for a general theory of material cultural evolution".
Just under 60% of trainees "experienced at least one form of harassment or discrimination during their training," found a meta-analysis of 51 studies by Naif Fnais of King Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and co-authors.
Under a random effects model, we found a meta-KL (× 100) of 0.13 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.04, 0.22] with an intercept of 1.47.
If heterogeneity was found, a meta-regression based on the Restricted Maximum Likelihood (REML) method was conducted to identify any related factors (P < 0.05 was considered significant).
Goodman et al. (1999) conducted a meta-analysis of 69 asbestos-exposed cohorts (including a subset of the Libby cohort), and found a meta-SMR for lung cancer of 1.6 (95% CI, 1.6 1.7) after allowing for 10 years cancer latency.
Two papers on in-patient/hospital (setting-specific) CM were found: A meta-analysis from 2005 on the effect of CM on hospital length-of-stay (LOS) and readmission concluded that hospital-based CM was not effective in reducing LOS and the percentage of patients readmitted at least once.
However, we found a significant meta-estimate of PM2.5 exposure only for the US studies.
Also, with twenty years of added context, one can't help but find a lot of entirely unintentional meta commentary as well.
One meta-analysis did not find an age effect, and another meta-analysis concluded most benefits are to be expected in the youngest old [ 13, 20].
A comprehensive review and meta-analysis by Cole and Rodu (2005) of 49 epidemiological studies, of various industries (production, pigment manufacture, plating), found an overall meta-SMR of 1.41 (95% CI=1.35 1.47).
Ambroise et al (2006) updated this study and found an overall meta-RR after partial control for publication bias of 1.26 (95% CI=1.20 1.32); this has been used for the AF estimation.
