[Meta-analysis: a guide to interpretation].

Abstract:

:The article has as purpose to propose a systematic approach for the reading of meta-analysis. Using a particular example, a literature search is proposed to identify the two types of meta-analyses: those based on individual data of the patients and those performed in systematic reviews of the literature. The proposed approach for the literature reading is evidence-based.
