خلاصه	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.	Meta-regression is a statistical technique that extends conventional meta-analysis by regressing study-level effect sizes on one or more study characteristics (moderators) to explain between-study heterogeneity. Formalized by Thompson and Higgins in 2002, it uses weighted least squares — weighting each study by the inverse of its variance — within a mixed-effects framework, allowing researchers to identify which study features systematically account for variation in observed effects across the literature.
