This is the seventh paper in the evidence-based medicine glossary series. In this paper, We mainlyintroduced five terms related to meta-analysis——prospective meta-analysis, individual patient data meta-analysis,cumulative meta-analysis, multiple-treatments meta-analysis and meta regression.We also gave some examples to helpreaders better understand and use them.
