Data Extraction for Meta-Analysis
摘要
It is essential to focus on statistical information that can be extracted from papers identified during your systematic review when conducting a meta-analysis. Unless this information is reported, it will be hard to include the paper in a meta-analysis. This chapter will provide examples of completed data extraction forms from two of my meta-analyses. These examples are provided to show how I completed data extraction for meta-analyses of correlations and meta-analyses of effect size differences. The forms can be adapted when you conduct your own meta-analysis. By the end of the chapter, you will see how to extract data from papers using correlational and experimental study designs and will be able to adopt these examples in their own meta-analyses.
