1 What is metanalysis? Page 3502 2 A A metanalysis is simply a way to combine the 3 results from different studies on the same subject. 4 For example, I have four individual studies 5 all on mesothelioma and garage mechanics, and we talk 6 about three of them. 7 We talk about the McDonald study, we talk 8 about the Spirtas study at the NCI, and we also talk 9 about Connecticut State Health Department study. 10 Now, this one study that we have not talked 11 about, and the reason I didn't set up a separate 12 exhibit for that is they only talk about garage 13 mechanics, so there is only one finding in that 14 study. 15 Q If I understand you correctly, then, there 16 would be really no comparison with other trades in 17 that study? 18 A Right, there would be just one line in 19 that. 20 Q Okay. So you put that one line on this? 21 A Right.
