[R-meta] Overlapping CIs with significant difference among subgroups
Dear Wolfgang and All, I conducted a multilevel mixed-effects meta-analysis and found differences between levels of two moderators. I was expecting to find non-overlapped confidence intervals. However, I obtained overlapped confidence intervals for all subgroups. How can I interpret these results? In such situation, should I trust in the Q-test or in the CIs? I controlled for phylogenetic non-independence. Is there a chance of this approach affect the estimation of CIs using predict function? My dataset and script are attached.
