Answer to Question 1

NUMEROUS STUDIES MAY NOT HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED BY THE ANALYST; THESE STUDIES WERE LESS LIKELY TO BE STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT AND THE RESULTING META-ANALYSIS CAN BE BIASED.

Answer to Question 2

ANY REASONABLE ANSWER OK. EXAMPLE: CHEMOTHERAPY MAY BE APPLIED WEEKLY IN ONE STUDY BUT BIWEEKLY IN ANOTHER.
