Researchers increasingly use meta-analysis to synthesize the results of several studies in order estimate a common effect. When outcome variable is continuous, standard meta-analytic approaches assume that primary report sample mean and deviation outcome. However, when skewed, authors sometimes summarize data by reporting median one or both (i) minimum maximum values (ii) first third quartiles, but do not deviation. To include these meta-analysis, methods have been developed from reported...
