Abstract
When a meta-analysis on results from experimental studies is conducted, differences in the study design must be taken into consideration. A method for combining results across independent-groups and repeated measures designs is described, and the conditions under which such an analysis is appropriate are discussed. Combining results across designs requires that (a) all effect sizes be transformed into a common metric, (b) effect sizes from each design estimate the same treatment effect, and (c) meta-analysis procedures use design-specific estimates of sampling variance to reflect the precision of the effect size estimates.

Teaching and Learning in the Social Context: A Meta-Analysis of Service Learning's Effects on Academic, Personal, Social, and Citizenship Outcomes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize evidence on the extent and types of change in participants in service learning programs, specific program elements (moderators) that affect the amount of change, and generalizability of results across educational levels and curricular versus non-curricular service.

Computerized virtual patients in health professions education: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: Comparisons of different virtual patient designs suggest that repetition until demonstration of mastery, advance organizers, enhanced feedback, and explicitly contrasting cases can improve learning outcomes.

The effects of acute stress on core executive functions: A meta-analysis and comparison with cortisol.

TL;DR: It is found that stress impaired working memory and cognitive flexibility, whereas it had nuanced effects on inhibition, and this indicates that stress works through mechanisms aside from or in addition to cortisol to produce a state characterized by more reactive processing of salient stimuli but greater control over actions.

A visitor's guide to effect sizes: statistical significance versus practical (clinical) importance of research findings.

TL;DR: An introduction to the computation and interpretation of effect sizes from the perspective of the consumer of the research literature is given.

Cognitive behavioral treatments of obsessive-compulsive disorder. A systematic review and meta-analysis of studies published 1993-2014.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of all RCTs of CBT for OCD using the interview-based Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale, published 1993 to 2014 finds that CBT was significantly better than antidepressant medication, but the combination of CBTs and medication was not significantly better.

Statistical Methods for Meta-Analysis

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a model for estimating the effect size from a series of experiments using a fixed effect model and a general linear model, and combine these two models to estimate the effect magnitude.
