Journal Article
data from randomised controlled trials. Statistics in Medicine, 32(6), 931-940. https://doi.org/10.1002/sim.5591

The process of undertaking a meta-analysis involves a sequence of decisions, one of which is deciding which measure of treatment effect to use. In particular, for comparative binary data from randomised controlled trials, a wide variety of measures...
