Journal ArticleDOI

Mendelian randomization: using genes as instruments for making causal inferences in epidemiology.

TL;DR: The use of germline genetic variants that proxy for environmentally modifiable exposures as instruments for these exposures is one form of IV analysis that can be implemented within observational epidemiological studies and can be considered as analogous to randomized controlled trials.
Journal ArticleDOI

A modified test for small‐study effects in meta‐analyses of controlled trials with binary endpoints

TL;DR: A modified linear regression test for funnel plot asymmetry based on the efficient score and its variance, Fisher's information is developed, which has a false-positive rate close to the nominal level while maintaining similar power to the originallinear regression test ('Egger' test).
Journal ArticleDOI

metan: fixed- and random-effects meta-analysis

TL;DR: Updates of the meta-analysis command metan and options that have been added since the command's original publication are described, including version 9 graphics with flexible display options, the ability to meta-analyze precalculated effect estimates, and theAbility to analyze subgroups by using the by() option.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-regression in Stata

TL;DR: A revised version of the metareg command, which performs meta-analysis regression (meta-regression) on study-level summary data, is presented, which involves improvements to the estimation methods and the addition of an option to use a permutation test to estimate p-values.
