Publication Bias Analysis
Publication bias analysis examines whether the set of studies included in a meta-analysis is a representative sample of all conducted research, or whether studies with non-significant or unfavorable results have been systematically suppressed. Matthias Egger and colleagues introduced the regression-based funnel plot asymmetry test in 1997, providing a formal statistical complement to the graphical funnel plot inspection long used in evidence synthesis.

Claims persisted in the evidence ledger, each with its own assessment.
This view does not invent a claim assessment when the ledger has none.
