Hi All, I would like to get some advice on including the following article in meta-analysis. I have requested data from authors but have not been successful. The article is open access so hopefully it is accessible. https://www-ncbi-nlm-nih-gov/pmc/articles/PMC4921225/ The report the intercepts from Hierarchical Linear Modeling Analyse in table 3 for one of the outcomes of importance. Would these values be able to be used as the mean in analysis, with the SE converted to SD? An example of their reported data is below. Post-Treatment Fixed Effect Beta Coefficient SE t-ratio df p-value Level 1 Intercept CS Rot 15.092 1.586 9.518 90 <0.001 CS ExtRot 14.301 2.030 7.045 90 <0.001 NCs Rot 17.219 1.421 12.122 90 <0.001 NCs ExtRot 13.695 1.813 7.553 90 <0.001 Level 1 Linear d CS Rot ?0.609 0.116 ?5.268 90 <0.001 CS ExtRot ?0.625 0.143 ?4.365 90 <0.001 NCs Rot ?0.702 0.141 ?4.968 90 <0.001 NCs ExtRot ?0.878 0.120 ?7.318 90 <0.001 Level 1 Quadratic d CS Rot 0.014 0.003 4.256 688 <0.001 CS ExtRot 0.017 0.004 4.875 688 <0.001 NCs Rot 0.014 0.004 3.441 688 <0.001 NCs ExtRot 0.025 0.004 5.936 688 <0.001 Thanks, Scott.
