Abstract
Meta-analysis can be used as an adjunct to the traditional review of literature to summarize what has been previously found. Meta-analysis employs the study as the unit of analysis, and transforms the results into a common metric, the effect size. The effect size can be reported as either a correlation, or the difference between means, divided by the standard deviation. All statistical tests can be transformed into an effect size.
