The distribution of the standardized mean difference is well understood. However, in many situations, researchers need to estimate an effect size to represent the relationship between a continuous outcome and a dichotomous grouping variable, adjusting for the effect of a covariate (or a set of covariates). Typically, this adjustment takes place…

Numerous methods provide valid solutions to synthesizing data from studies with zero-events, either based on a frequentist or a Bayesian framework. Among frequentist frameworks, the one-stage methods have their unique…
