Hi,
We have read your excellent multimodal meta-analysis paper (Radua et al., Neuropsychopharmacology, 2014; Radua et al., Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, 2012). Now we are performing a multimodal meta-analysis using AES-SDM. But we do not know how to perform the Assessment of Publication Bias and Heterogeneity and jackknife analysis in the multimodal meta-analysis, although we know how to conduct them in the separate meta-analysis. We did not find any output file about the Heterogeneity in the multimodal meta-analysis step. Also, we have no idea about how to extract the effect size to make the funnel plots and Egger test using the multimodal meta-analysis result. Would you please be so kind to tell us how to conduct these analyses?

Thank you very much in advance!

My best wishes,
Daisy

Dear Daisy,

please note that the multimodal meta-analysis only represents, indeed, an overlap of the significant findings of the two separate meta-analyses. I would thus suggest conducting the complementary analyses in the separate meta-analyses.

Best wishes,
