Meta-Regression-Based Rapid Review
A meta-regression-based rapid review is an accelerated evidence synthesis that combines the time-efficient protocols of a rapid review with meta-regression analysis to identify which study-level or population-level characteristics explain variability in effect sizes across included studies. By streamlining search and screening steps without sacrificing the explanatory power of regression modeling, this approach delivers actionable heterogeneity insights under decision-making time constraints.
