荟萃分析的结果是多种因素的函数，尤其是任何时候的可用数据。在考虑荟萃分析的影响时，多元性也是相关的。不同的研究小组可能会就某一主题发表多项荟萃分析，其结果可能不一致。这些问题与个体患者数据汇总分析的相关性较低，我们同意这种方法的价值。对荟萃分析的证据进行批判性审查更为重要，因为它们优先考虑为临床实践指南提供信息。
The results of meta-analysis are a function of multiple factors, not least the available data at any moment in time. When considering the impact of a meta-analysis, plurality is also relevant. Multiple meta-analyses by different research groups may be published on a given topic, and their findings may not be coherent. These issues are less relevant to individual-patient data pooled analyses, and we agree on the value of this approach. A critical review of evidence from meta-analyses is all the more important given their prioritization to inform clinical practice guidelines.
