<div> </div>
<div>after reading that the Eggers regression test is not suitable when using a SMD as an effect size (https://training.cochrane.org/handbook/current/chapter-13#section-13-3-5-4), I found the following paper:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/jrsm.1332</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My reading is that one better variant of the test is to substitute the standard errors with the square root of the weights.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have tried to implement that in the attached R script. (I know that the numbers of studies is too low for enough power of the test. This just an example). </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is this the correct way to do it or are there better ways to modify the test?</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Regards</div>
