Quantitative synthesis

Quantitative synthesis is a method used to combine and analyze numerical data from multiple research studies to draw overall conclusions. It involves statistically pooling the results, such as averages or effect sizes, to identify general patterns or impacts. This approach helps researchers understand whether observed effects are consistent across different studies and provides a more comprehensive understanding than any single study alone. It's commonly used in systematic reviews to summarize evidence on a specific topic, allowing for informed decision-making based on aggregated data.
