Alternative definition : CDISC-GLOSS: The document describing the plan for combining of evidence from relevant
studies using appropriate statistical methods to allow inference to be made to the
population of interest. NOTE: The most common reason for performing a meta-analysis
is to provide an estimate of a treatment effect or measure of relative risk associated
with an intervention and to quantify the uncertainty about the estimated effect or
risk, when data from a single existing study are insufficient for this purpose. [FDA
