Which study is deemed suitable for meta-analysis?

10 October 2020 1 6K Report

I am recently working on a systematic review and would like to make a forest plot analysis of the included studies. However, I am not sure whether these studies are suitable for the analysis. Is there any clue or tips I can use? Thanks in advance.
