Reporting characteristics of meta-analyses in orthodontics: methodological assessment and statistical recommendations
(2014)
Abstract:
Ideally meta-analyses (MAs) should consolidate the characteristics of orthodontic research in order to produce an evidence-based answer. However severe flaws are frequently observed in most of them. The aim of ...
