SDM values for individual studies
How does one extract SDM values for individual studies in order to
graph regression slopes as in "Gray matter volume abnormalities in
ADHD: Voxel-based meta-analysis exploring the effects of age and
stimulant medication"? I was hoping to do so by extracting values
from a mask, but this only gave me estimates and variances for
individual studies.
Thankyou in advance for you help

RE: SDM values for individual studies
I'm not sure whether I have understood your question. You can
create a mask for the peak and then extract the values using this
mask. You can then include these values in standard meta-analytic
software to obtain e.g. the residuals of a model.

RE: SDM values for individual studies
Sorry, to be more specific, I would like to graph a regression
slope. I am trying to figure out how to extract the "partial
residual SDM value" for individual studies, as reported in the
regression graph of "Gray Matter Volume Abnormalities in ADHD:
Voxel-Based Meta-Analysis Exploring the Effects of Age and
Stimulant Medication". When I extract values from the peak
coordinates or a region I receive estimates and variances for
individual studies, and SDM values only for
meta-analyses/meta-regressions. Is there a way to use these values
to find the partial residual SDM value for each study? Or is there
another measure that is more appropriate for graphing a regression
slope?
Thanks again
Thanks again

RE: SDM values for individual studies
The value of each study is the "estimate". With these values and
the regression slopes, you may calculate the residuals of the
regression. The weight (to make points smaller or larger) is the
inverse of the sum of the "variance" and the heterogeneity, but in
plots you may just use the inverse of the variance. Hope this
helps,
