Week 4 – Assignment: Perform and Interpret a Meta-Analysis for Publication

Instructions

As the healthcare administrator for healthcare research-focused organization, you have been collaborating with a team of researchers from across the country by

 working on a systematic review. The systematic review process is an intensive and time-consuming endeavor that includes:

Gathering evidence from the literature.

Synthesizing the evidence gathered.

Disseminating findings through manuscript publication in peer review journals.

As you work with your team to develop the manuscript to be published in a high-impact journal, your team agreed to present a summarized version of all the quantitative data gathered by conducting and interpreting a meta-analysis. As a result, the team tasked you with developing a Forest Plot that will be used to present your evidence in the manuscript being prepared for submission in a peer-review journal.

Using the data sent to you by one of the analysts (see Resource list for the data to use),

1. Use the Open Meta-Analyst (OM) open-source software for performing meta-analyses [funded by the Agency for Healthcare Quality Research (AHRQ)].
