Meta-Analysis
--------------------------------------------
**Introduction**
*"Meta-analysis is the quantitative, scientific synthesis of research results. Since the term and modern approaches to research synthesis were first introduced in the 1970s, meta-analysis has had a revolutionary effect in many scientific fields, helping to establish evidence-based practice and to resolve seemingly contradictory research outcomes."* [(Gurevitch, Koricheva, Nakagawa & Stewart, 2018)][1]

**Methodology & Applications**
- Trim and Fill Method
- [Performance of The Trim and Fill Method in The Presence of Publication Bias and Between-Study Heterogeneity (Peters, Sutton, Jones, Abrams, Rushton, 2007)][3]
- Application of *p*-uniform, a method that enables (a) testing of publication bias, (b) effect sizeestimation, and (c) testing of the null-hypothesis of no effect.
