Meta-analysis is an epidemiological, recognized, quantifiable study design that helps in systematical evaluation of earlier research studies to originate conclusions indicative of body of research. Conclusions drawn from meta-analysis may consist of a more detailed and accurate assessment of the consequences of various treatments, different risk factors for any particular or specific disease, or other outcomes, than individual research contributing to joint analysis. One of the critical outcome

While, it might be assumed that each decision is made based on sound research evidence, Kessenich, Guyatt and Dicenso (1997) suggest that many clinical decisions are made based on tradition, rule of thumb or ritual (Kessneich, Guyatt & Dicenso. 1997).
