| Sintesi≠ | Meta-analytic screening test evaluation is a quantitative evidence-synthesis approach that pools sensitivity, specificity, and related accuracy indices across multiple primary studies of the same screening or diagnostic test. It produces summary estimates of a test's ability to correctly identify disease-positive and disease-negative individuals, typically using the bivariate random-effects model or the Hierarchical Summary ROC (HSROC) framework, and visualises results with summary ROC curves and forest plots. | 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. |
