Digital Libraries 2021-03-24 v1 Applications

Abstract

Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of mediation studies are increasingly being implemented in practice. Nonetheless, the methodology for conducting such review and analysis is still in a development phase, with much room for improvement. In this paper, we highlight and discuss challenges that investigators face in mediation systematic reviews and meta-analyses, then propose ways of accommodating these in practice.
