A meta-data analysis involves the study of the results of reported research in a specific substantive area by analyzing the "processed data." Meta-method is the study of the methodologic rigor of the studies included in the meta-synthesis. Lastly, meta-theory refers to the analysis of the theoretical underpinnings on which the studies are grounded. Subgroup analysis involves splitting effect size information into distinct categorical groups.
