What Our Meta-Analysis Service Delivers
A meta-analysis is a statistical method that combines the quantitative results of multiple independent studies to produce a single pooled estimate of effect. It is the gold standard of quantitative evidence synthesis, providing greater statistical power and more precise effect estimates than any individual study alone. Our workflow follows the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions, version 6.5 (Higgins JPT, Thomas J, et al., 2024) and reports each synthesis in line with the PRISMA 2020 Statement (Page et al., BMJ, 2021).
At Research Gold, our meta-analysis service provides researchers with expert biostatistical support for every stage of quantitative synthesis across health sciences, nursing, psychology, education, social sciences, and beyond. We match you with a PhD biostatistician who has published in your field, drawn from a team of nine PhD methodologists spanning biostatistics and epidemiology. Our methodologists implement all analyses using R (metafor and meta packages) or Stata, and deliver fully reproducible code alongside publication-ready figures and tables. For projects that need dataset preparation and modeling before pooling, we also provide statistical analysis support for research teams.
Whether you need a standalone meta-analysis for an existing dataset or a combined systematic review and meta-analysis package, we deliver results that satisfy the most demanding peer reviewers and editorial boards. You can review our published meta-analyses, each with a verifiable digital object identifier, on our sample deliverables page.
