| description | Track evidence accumulation over time — cumulative meta-analysis protocol design. Budget: 40 studies, 40 effect sizes, 30 web searches. |
Design a cumulative meta-analysis protocol tracking how evidence evolves over time as new studies are published.
Cumulative meta-analysis adds studies one-by-one in chronological order, showing when the evidence became conclusive, whether early studies were misleading, and how the pooled estimate stabilized. This strategy produces the protocol for temporal evidence tracking.
