Are you working on a systematic review and want to take it to t he next step? In this beginner-friendly workshop\, we’ll walk through th e essential steps to perform a meta-analysis using R\, with a focus on pra ctical application and clear interpretation.
In this hands-on worksh op\, you’ll learn how to conduct a meta-analysis tailored for systematic reviews of RCTs. We’ll use R\, a free\, open-source statistical softwar e\, to guide you through importing data\, calculating effect sizes\, asses sing heterogeneity\, and producing forest plots. Whether you’re new to m eta-analysis or just need a refresher\, this session offers a practical en try point into evidence synthesis using reproducible\, code-based workflow s.
ln this workshop\, participants will learn to:
Run a m eta-analysis and create a forest plot
Perform subgroup analyses
Create funnel plots for publication bias
No prior experi ence with meta-analysis is required. This workshop is ideal for researcher s who are conducting or planning to conduct systematic reviews involving R CTs. Basic familiarity with R (e.g.\, running R scripts or using RStudio) is helpful but not required. We’ll provide all the code and walk through each step together.
