Franz H. Messerli, +2 more
- 21 Jun 2018 -

Matthias Egger, +3 more
- 13 Sep 1997 - 
TL;DR: Funnel plots, plots of the trials' effect estimates against sample size, are skewed and asymmetrical in the presence of publication bias and other biases Funnel plot asymmetry, measured by regression analysis, predicts discordance of results when meta-analyses are compared with single large trials.
