We have developed a standardised data repository and analysis system which allows real time on line data processing and analysis with Weighted and/ or Standardised Mean Difference Random Effects meta-analysis.
This is currently hosted on MS Access, with access available through a Remote Desktop Connection to our central server, with data back up every 24 hours and 30 sequential backup sets held at any time. We have recently restructured the database to improve stability and flexibility, and with a view to moving to a web-based interface. We are grateful to the CAMARADES collaborators for their financial contribution to this process.
If you would like to carry out a systematic review and meta-analysis, or to analyse existing data, please let us know. To use this you must register as a user (just email us) and you must agree to allow others to access your data set for further analysis. Any publication arising from such analyses will of course acknowledge the contribution of the originator(s) of the data.
