So you want to do a meta analysis
A meta-analysis combines results from multiple independent studies on the same topic to obtain an overall quantitative estimate of an intervention's effect. It increases statistical power and generalizability. Key steps include formulating the problem, searching literature comprehensively, coding and assessing study quality, statistical analysis, and interpretation. A thorough literature search is crucial, requiring weeks of effort across various databases and sources. Unpublished studies, though most valuable due to publication bias, must also be sought through dissertations, conferences, trials registries, and institutional repositories. Librarians can provide assistance in the search process.

Before we talk about how to find research articles, we have to
agree on what we're looking for. We're looking for scientific
truth. Where do you get it? From a Trustworthy Authority? Give
me a break! (see rant).
Scientific truth resides in research articles. A research article is
one that provides observations or the observed results of
experiments (not merely conclusions) and a description of how
the experiments were performed, in sufficient detail that
someone else might replicate them. You will recognize them by
the detail paid to the methods on which the results were based.
A news report of a scientific finding is not a research article. It
doesn't describe how to do the experiment. A review article is
not a research article. It combines lessons learned from multiple
research articles but, again, does not describe how to do the
experiments it covers.
Strategies to find research articles
If you know the exact title of the article you're looking for, then:
http://www.people.vcu.edu/~elhaij/bnfo300/17/Units/Intro-course/why-find-research-articles.html
http://www.people.vcu.edu/~elhaij/bnfo300/17/Units/Intro-course/how-to-read-articles.html
http://www.people.vcu.edu/~elhaij/bnfo300/17/Units/Intro-course/trustworthy-authority.html
http://www.lib.utexas.edu/lsl/help/modules/review.html
• Your favorite search engine may be the fastest way to reach
the article (if you have its exact title). However, if you're
doing this from off-campus, the site you reach will not
recognize your IP address and not realize that you are a
member of the VCU community and thus deserving of the
full text of articles in journals to which VCU subscribes.
•
• VCU library general search facility is an excellent way of
getting most articles. If you are accessing it from off
campus, you'll be prompted for your eID and password if
needed. But no database is perfect, and you may sometimes
need to look elsewhere.
If you don't know the exact title, then:
• Using a search engines is generally a poor strategy -- too
low of a signal-to-noise ratio
•
• Google Scholar is much better but I haven't used it enough
to know how its database compares to others. Note that
Google Scholar allows advanced searches by clicking the
down arrow in the search box.
•
• For greater flexibility, try dedicated services, such as
PubMed and Web of Sciences.
There are two major strategies to use these indexes to find
research articles (plus one general fallback strategy):
• Keyword search: Looks for articles whose titles, abstracts,
or author lists contain a set of words that you supply. Used
by all the sites. This is what you're already used to.

Editor's Notes
- Google Scholar is a journals, books and citation index. It is separate to the web search as they have changed the way it searches to only bring back scholarly material. It also searches behind the firewalls of sertain publishers to bring back abstracts
- It is easy to search if you are used to the web search. It is also very good for picking up spelling errors or incorrect/partial citations. It has links through to subscriptions through the find it at Oxford or direct links through. It also has citation information that can lead to other sources.
