Budget: 40 studies, 40 effect sizes, 40 web searches.
Track evidence accumulation over time — cumulative meta-analysis protocol design. Budget: 40 studies, 40 effect sizes, 30 web searches.
Design structured data extraction form for systematic meta-analysis data collection
Systematically extract effect sizes and conditions from papers for meta-analytic synthesis
Determine effect size types and calculation methods for meta-analytic synthesis
Build evidence network graph for network meta-analysis — nodes, edges, geometry assessment
