Medline[1], Embase[2] and Cochrane[3] are medical research databases. You can find there studies on various drug uses or treatment plans. A useful information source if you want to compare studies on use of Allopurinol for chronic gout or else. Jkotek (talk) 08:28, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Seems to me that should be in the explanation, no? -- Brettpeirce (talk) 15:03, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Would it be helpful to include a breakdown of the terms?

• Meta-Analysis = "We searched M, E, & C for [keyword]"
• Meta-Meta-Analysis = "We searched M, E, & C for 'We searched M, E, & C for [keyword]'"
• Meta-Meta-Meta-Analysis = "We searched M, E, & C for 'We searched M, E, & C for 'We searched M, E, & C for [keyword]""

Your paper is rejected. //"TOO META"--Theme (talk) 08:49, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

IMHO a better would be this:

• Meta-Analysis = "We searched M, E, & C for [keyword] and compared results between each other"
• Meta-Meta-Analysis = "We analyzed how others 'search the M, E, & C for for [keyword] and compare the results'"
• Meta-Meta-Meta-Analysis = "We analyzed how other 'analyze how others search the M, E, & C for for [keyword] and compare the results'"
