Unfortunately, the company's CEO then proceeded to declare that DeepMind's algorithms could lead to a "meta-solution to any problem".
Although this is, in principle, a way of strengthening the evidence, it can lead to a "quick-and-dirty" meta-analysis.
For non-technical readers and the majority of biologists and clinicians, these materials are daunting and will lead to a natural aversion to meta-analysis, thus hindering the wide application of SRMA.
This, we argue, will lead to a synthesis of results on a meta-level not yet described.
This, we argue, will lead to a synthesis of results on a meta-level not previously described.
One of the many concerns that must be addressed when performing a meta-analysis is whether selective publication of studies could lead to a bias in estimating the overall meta-analytical effect and in the inferences derived from the analysis.
Riley (2009) shows that ignoring these dependencies in a meta-analysis can lead to a heavily biased estimation of the aggregated results.
However, including a flawed study in such a meta-analysis could lead to a bias; therefore, the quality of the data must be carefully considered before including a given dataset in the analysis.
Updating the meta-analyses lead to a more precise estimate of the likely effect of the nicotine patch, but the clinical message was unchanged.
10 12 52 Perhaps clearer guidance as to how to conduct and report these types of meta-analyses will lead to a more optimal and consistent approach.
This level of 'synthesis' called 'Meta-synthesis' will lead to a new understanding of CRC and screening decisions (eg, colonoscopy) beyond what would be discovered in a qualitative systematical review (which tends to focus entirely on the primary research findings).
