Leave-one-study-out influence audit

Recompute a common-effect inverse-variance estimate after omitting each study.

Use 3–100 independent study estimates on one compatible analysis scale, with positive SEs. Log-transform ratio measures before entry.

The starting values are hypothetical. Results update as you edit. Use aggregate or synthetic inputs only.

How to interpret the output

The pooled estimate weights each study by inverse variance; omission results assess influence under that common-effect model. They do not justify removing a study because its result is inconvenient. Shared participants, correlated estimates and between-study heterogeneity require other methods.
