Smoking as a risk factor for dementia and cognitive decline: a meta-analysis of prospective studies. (2007, methodology): “To improve sensitivity of detecting heterogeneity among studies, a p value of 10 percent was used ( 19 ).”
Performance of the trim and fill method in the presence of publication bias and between‐study heterogeneity (2007, methodology): “In all models the method of moments is used to estimate 2 [30].”
Is network meta-analysis as valid as standard pairwise meta-analysis? It all depends on the distribution of effect modifiers (2013, methodology): “With standard pairwise meta-analysis, treatment effects of different studies comparing the same interventions are combined using statistical techniques to obtain a ‘pooled’ treatment effect estimate [14].”
The Own-Wage Elasticity of Labor Demand: A Meta-Regression Analysis (2014, methodology): “A common method to detect publication selection bias is the evaluation of a so-called “funnel graph” (Sutton et al., 2000).”

Assessing heterogeneity in meta-analysis: Q statistic or I2 index? (2006, unknown): “) that can be applied to all studies, enabling meta-analysts to give the study results in the same metric (Cooper, 1998; Cooper & Hedges, 1994; Egger, Smith, & Altman, 2001; Glass, McGaw, & Smith, 1981; Hedges & Olkin, 1985; Hunter & Schmidt, 2004; Rosenthal, 1991; Sutton, Abrams, Jones, Sheldon, & ”
