Meta-analyses comparing treatment effects in patient subgroups (e.g. males vs. females) may be tricky, and may in fact sometimes suggest contradictory findings. Renato Panaro (@panaro) looked at the mechanisms at work, and also suggests a possible solution:

(joint work with @friede1).
Registration is still possible for the GMDS ACADEMY 2025 (Hannover, October 20-23).
There will be three parallel workshops on meta analysis, causal inference and time-to-event analysis involving Wolfgang Viechtbauer (@wviechtb), Christian Röver, Sebastian Weber, Vanessa Didelez, Arthur Allignol, Oliver Kuß, Alexandra Strobel, Hannes Buchner, Xiaofei Liu and Ann-Kathrin Ozga.

A very interesting workshop on "Hierarchical models in preclinical research" finished today in Göttingen. This was a joint undertaking of the IBS-DR working groups "Non-clinical statistics" and "Bayes Methods", and included an extensive Tutorial on #brms by Sebastian Weber and Lukas Widmer. Some of the material is available on the meeting website:
The EU-funded 🇪🇺 INVENTS project (https://invents-he.eu) held its first annual consortium meeting this week in Göttingen. Looking forward to further fruitful collaboration!
The working groups "Bayes Methods" and "Non-Clinical Statistics" of the International Biometric Society's German Region (IBS-DR) are organizing a workshop on
➡️ HIERARCHICAL MODELS IN PRECLINICAL RESEARCH
on December 5-6 in Göttingen.
Meanwhile the PROGRAM is available, and REGISTRATION is still possible -- see here for more details:
