I’m not as versed in mistakes of meta-analysis yet, but I’m working on it ! Once I compile enough meta-analysis misuses I will add them to the post. Here is one that’s pretty interesting :
Many studies still use fail-safe N to account for publication bias when it has been shown to be invalid. If you see a study that uses it you can act as if they did not account for publication bias at all.
As someone who wants to do systematic review (meta-analysis with a certain rigidly prescribed structure), I will love to hear about the mistakes to watch out for!
