Hello List Members,

Reviewing the archived posts, my understanding is that my studies can
produce multiple effects, so I should use rma.mv() not rma().

Also, I understand rma.mv() ensures that I get more accurate SEs for my
fixed effects relative to rma().

BUT does that also mean that, by definition, rma.mv() should have no
bearing on the magnitude of the fixed effects themselves and only modifies
their SEs relative to rma()?

Thank you,
Simon
