Stuart M. E.

Stuart M. E. is a statistical method used in meta-analysis, which combines results from multiple studies to identify overall patterns or effects. Specifically, it refers to the "Standardized Mean Difference" (SMD), a way to measure the effect size when studies measure the same outcome differently (like using different scales). By standardizing results, Stuart M. E. allows researchers to compare and synthesize findings across diverse studies effectively. This approach helps to clarify the overall evidence on a particular topic, offering a clearer understanding of the true effect or relationship being investigated.
