Abstract: | Alba et al. compared the heterogeneity of meta-analyses on the basis of the type of outcome, and concluded that meta-analyses that evaluate continuous outcomes showed substantially higher I-square values than meta-analyses of binary outcomes. However, in a proper comparison, like should be compared with like. |
