Steven, I have spent the last four hours trying to understand this and you did it in 2 minutes :)))))))) love and guidance Steven

[@StevenBradburn]

Very welcome :)

[@Studious4Health]

I absolutely hate watching any 'demo' video which goes longer than 5 minutes when I'm actively trying to do a task. This is by far the best video I have ever watched, I walked away from this with so much confidence!

[@jeninskii]

This is honestly one of the best videos out there. Saved my life Thank you!

[@StevenBradburn]

Thanks for the feedback Jeninski!

[@lawjustice3576]

[@DrHarisAbbasid]

This is literally so simply put up by you. I am impressed

[@sabrinagray1957]

This video was amazing! I’m in a doctoral program and couldn’t grasp the components in this plot and this explained it perfectly simply. Thank you! Did you ever get to doing a video on heterogeneity?

[@waswaedgar7220]

Thank you for simplifying our studies, this is the best explanation, it is so clear and helpful.

very helpful explanation

[@ib606]

great tutorial. but why the wavy and moving title? makes me dizzy...

[@mohamedshenawy.]

How it is homogenous and use random effect size ? I think in homogenous we use fixed effect size only , is not ?

[@sheilaschneiberg]

How about when Cohen model is used?

[@batmanarkham5120]

Thank you very much. Very well explained. Please make a video on funnel plot and RM vs FM

Nice video, very clear. But, anyone have youtube link or title for video that explain heterogeneity and fixed/random effect at this channel like he said before?

[@amritsudershan8620]

Beautyfull y explained

[@StevenBradburn]

Thank you!

[@miloudiabir6384]

thank you so much for this tutorial, so useful but please what does it mean the weight of the study ?

[@nonenone6357]

How do you know which one is the first group?

[@judohit76]

Thank you very much for this tutorial video. Allow me to ask one question. What does it mean when the Std, Mean difference is not estimable? I came across that problem recently and i dont know how to interpret it. Thank you in advance

[@sathishchakradhar3060]

good explanation sir thank you so muchhhhh

[@r_5758]

This was amazing

[@fajfaj11]

Thankyou🎉

[@hunta7078]

thanks man

[@ABIBX]

Thank u a lot 💗!! But how can we know if it’s risky or protective ? 😰

[@ushaconde1691]

Awesome

[@kmd6992]

Thanks for this informative video. By the way, regarding heterogeneity, does that mean of the heterogeneity p value is greater than the established p value (0.05) then that makes it low heterogeneity?

[@vasilis1963]

You are saying studies 1,3,4,6 are not statistically significant. But they contribute to the making of the "diamond". Ok I know the diamond is not crossing the "no effect line" but it is made up of some studies that cross it. So what happens with that? Is a diamond like that valid?

[@rakhichandran8564]

What about pooled prevalence..can you explain it too?

[@michaelenns8872]

I just don't get want a point estimate is good for when we have a confidence interval.

[@shathaomar1516]

How to perform sensitivity test for subgroup analysis please?

[@Julia-rj3zy]

why use a random effects model when there is no heterogeneity? we learned that we have to use a fixed model in that case.

[@juliusomega2969]

I’m confuse on how you calculated the percent weight for each studies, I try it manually but the result is different. Did you use different formula for it?

[@Ella-mu9kw]

very good !

[@thisumamarasinghe8171]

thnx❤

[@YourPsychFriend]

Great video

[@StevenBradburn]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@stephanyyasmine5047]

Hi. Can you tell which article is used in apresentation?

[@ngweikei6873]

How do you calculate the weight?
