It is also important to understand that, unlike with primary studies, multivariate comparisons are limited in meta-analytical research by the aggregated nature of the data. Thus, all Data Elements should be of direct interest to compare among Interventions of interest. | It is also important to understand that, unlike with primary studies, multivariate comparisons are limited in meta-analytical research by the aggregated nature of the data.
