Meta-Analysis Best Practice
When comparing results across studies or experiments:
- Report effect sizes, not just p-values
- Use standardized metrics for cross-study comparison
- Account for heterogeneity (different setups, datasets, seeds)
- Report confidence intervals alongside point estimates
- Use forest plots to visualize cross-study comparisons
- Identify and discuss outliers or inconsistent results
- Consider publication bias when interpreting aggregate results
Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
scientific-visualization
Publication-ready scientific figure design with matplotlib and seaborn. Use when creating journal submission figures with proper formatting, accessibility, and statistical annotations.
hypothesis-formulation
Structured scientific hypothesis generation from observations. Use when formulating testable hypotheses, competing explanations, or experimental predictions.
scientific-writing
Academic manuscript writing with IMRAD structure, citation formatting, and reporting guidelines. Use when drafting or revising research papers.
a-evolve
Apply A-Evolve's agentic evolution methodology to improve AI agent performance across runs. Use when the user wants to diagnose agent failures, generate targeted skills from error patterns, evolve system prompts, or accumulate episodic knowledge. Works standalone or inside AutoResearchClaw pipelines. Triggers on: "evolve", "self-improve", "diagnose failures", "generate skills from errors", "what went wrong and how to fix it", or any mention of A-Evolve.
chemistry-rdkit
Computational chemistry with RDKit for molecular analysis, descriptors, fingerprints, and substructure search. Use when working with SMILES, drug discovery, or cheminformatics tasks.
literature-search
Systematic literature review methodology including search strategy, screening, and synthesis. Use when conducting literature reviews or writing background sections.
