Abstract: | If the consistency test were used to select papers for inclusion in meta-analysis, the resulting estimates of true effect sizes would be no less biased. Increasing its detection rate at the risk of a higher false alarm rate biases the pooled effect size estimates more—not less—because papers reporting large effect sizes are less likely to be judged inconsistent. |
