[R-meta] Meta-analysis of meta-analyses

Dear Gladys,

This is sometimes called a 'second-order meta-analysis' or simply 'meta-meta-analysis'. The tricky part is that the different MAs are likely to include overlapping sets of studies, which introduces dependency between the various pooled estimates that is difficult to account for.

Best,
Wolfgang
