Questions
Question (1)
Recently, I have faced with a meta-analysis of clinical trials which included studies performed on adults and 4-8 years old children and combined the effect sizes of both population groups in the overall analysis. I am wondering is it methodologically true? I will be very grateful if anyone can help me with it.
