How to Interpret the Results of Trim and Fill Analysis?
When interpreting the results of trim and fill analysis, it is essential to consider the following:
Adjusted Effect Size: Compare the adjusted effect size with the original effect size to see the impact of potential publication bias. Symmetrical Funnel Plot: Check if the funnel plot becomes more symmetrical after the analysis, indicating that the adjustment was successful. Sensitivity Analysis: Conduct additional sensitivity analyses to assess the robustness of the results.
