How It Works

Detect publication bias in meta-analyses using Egger's test for funnel plot asymmetry. Estimate the number of unpublished null results using trim-and-fill adjustment

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Egger's test — The egger's test recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the funnel plot bias result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the Egger's test for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Detect publication bias in meta-analyses using Egger's test for funnel plot asymmetry. Estimate the number of unpublished null results using trim-and-fill adjustment. Use the funnel plot bias result to inform your clinical assessment.
