I would like to do a quest. Is it possible to do a meta-analysis only with cross-sectional studies? I try to do so, but always the SPSS software asks for the "treatment group" and "the control group". Can you explain what I can do with no control group?
Thank you for your response.
Regards

From the statistician:
"This is all about data setting. SPSS asks for the input of the counts of successes and failures. Yes, the total group size is the sum of the counts of successes and failures. So, if the customer has total group counts and the counts of successes, he/she may simply calculate the counts of failures by estimating the difference between them before conducting meta-analysis."

Hi. Just FYI - I have forwarded this on to one of our statisticians for confirmation.

Hi there
Can I please check re Meta analysis
For binary outcomes, it looks for numbers for success and failure. All other MA software I have used looks for events and total in that group. Is the success the number of events and the failures just group n minus successes?
Thanks
