However, as a result of the heterogeneity of the trial populations, synthesis of the meta-analysis data can be challenging with numerous methodological decisions required.
Since there is no overlap of outcomes studied (tool and methods of assessment) between the trials, no synthesis of effects can be made.
HTA research takes three main forms: primary research (normally trials), evidence synthesis (systematic reviews, which usually include economic modelling) and methodological studies.
All reviewers comment on the variety of ways that costs, cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness were measured in the trials, making synthesis difficult.
135 This group identified as the fifth most agreeable (81% agreement) recommendation the development of core outcome sets, which would enable comparisons between trials and synthesis of their data.
Due to the heterogeneous nature of patients in memantine trials, the synthesis of evidence can be approached in several ways with a number of key points to consider when determining the most appropriate analysis.
Our health outcomes are taken from one randomized controlled trial, so no synthesis of diverse epidemiologic and clinical studies needed to be modeled.

They are planned to provide particular advice and guidance to the PIs and RAs in each phase of the study: 1. Context: review of literature and current information 2. Development of the information pack, 3. Randomized controlled trial, 4. Synthesis of phases 1-3 and comparative analysis.
Synthesis trials were carried out with mixed silicon and carbon black powders under the same reaction condition (1,500°C, 9 h, 1 atm, 200 sccm continuous Ar flow).
