meta-analyses seek to combine the results of the various studies addressing the same question. The results of small studies may suggest that a treatment looks promising but the numbers involved may be relatively small and therefore inconclusive. If the results from all relevant research are combined the numbers may become more meaningful. Great caution is required as the studies are unlikely to have collected data in identical ways. Nevertheless, as the meta-analysis will include more data, the overall conclusions may be more powerful than those from individual studies.
