Abstract

Meta-analysis is a statistical method that combines the results of individual studies on the same topic. This method is becoming popular, due to providing the combined result that individual studies cannot provide and giving a more precise result. Despite meta-analysis having such significance, there were few Korean guides for the use of the Review Manager (RevMan) software. This study will provide a step-by-step guide, using orthodontic mini-screw as a dental example, to help researcher carry out meta-analysis more easily and accurately.
