Hello,

I am currently running meta-regression models using 2-3 variables. I have coded my categorical variables and included them with my continuous variables in analysis. Am I correct to assume that running the regression with the variables this way would be the same as creating a subgroup analysis for my categorical variable? Is there any reason to do this subgroup analysis rather than simply run my regression with the variables dummy coded? I am using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software and only have one variable that is categorical.
