Comprehensive literature review and statistical considerations for microarray meta-analysis

With the exhibition sector becoming increasingly important for the hospitality and tourism industry, it is critical to understand what drives the success of an exhibition. Through a comprehensive literature review, we first identified two broad categories of factors, namely exhibition attributes and exhibitor perceptions, that influence exhibitor satisfaction and loyalty. Next, a meta-analysis was conducted based on 26 empirical papers studying the Chinese exhibition market to quantitatively evaluate these relationships. The results show that among the exhibition attributes, booth management, service personnel, and exhibition environment are the most important factors affecting exhibitor satisfaction, while exhibition brand is the most important factor affecting loyalty. Among exhibitor perceptions, service quality is more important for satisfaction, while perceived value is more meaningful to loyalty. This study offers insights into strategies for exhibition organizers to cultivate long-term relationships, and to better cope with the challenges of emerging forces such as the Internet.

BACKGROUND: Despite the obvious importance of emotional labor for employees, organizations, and customers, a lack of coherence and clarity around the construct has impeded its development. OBJECTIVE: Our study aims to provide a comprehensive review of emotional labor spanning about 40 years. METHODS: Our study used a qualitative literature review method along with a theoretically derived path diagram of key emotional labor constructs. We also used meta-analysis to explore the relationship between emotional labor and outcomes in different national contexts. RESULTS: We expect our research to expand the field in five different ways. First, we review contemporary theoretical conceptualizations of emotional labor and its dimensions. Second, we summarize seven existing measures of emotional labor in light of their contents. Third, we map the theoretical and nomological network of emotional labor about its antecedents, outcomes, moderators, mediators. Fourth, we use meta-analysis to explore the relationship between emotional labor and other variables in different contexts. Finally, we conclude by showing a detailed future research agenda to bring the field forward from different perspectives, including theoretical and empirical advancement. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, our review provides a whole picture of where the literature has been and where it should go.

Background and Aims: The use of statins has been shown to be associated with a decreased risk of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) in many studies although the results have been inconsistent. We conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to further investigate this possible association by identifying all relevant studies and combining their results together. Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted utilizing the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases through March 2020 to identify all studies that compared the risk of CCA among individuals who use statins with individuals who do not use statins. Effect estimates from each study were extracted and combined using the random-effect, generic inverse variance method of DerSimonian and Laird. Results: A total of seven studies with 6,251,187 participants fulfilled the eligibility criteria and were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled analysis found a significantly decreased risk of CCA among individuals who use statins compared with individuals who do not use statins with the pooled odds ratio of 0.68 (95% CI: 0.52-0.89; I 2 96%). Conclusions: The current systematic review and meta-analysis found a significant association between the use of statins and a decreased risk of CCA.

Staghorn Stones

Objective. To assess current evidence on the effectiveness and safety of single- versus multiple-tract percutaneous nephrolithotomy in the surgical management of complex caliceal calculi or staghorn stones through a comprehensive literature review. Methods. A comprehensive literature review of articles investigating the clinical efficacy and safety of single- versus multiple-tract percutaneous nephrolithotomy was performed. Relevant literature was obtained by systematically searching PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library through May 2020. We followed the search strategy based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement. The primary outcomes, including the stone-free rate (SFR), and secondary outcomes (peri- and postoperative complications and operative data) were evaluated using RevMan 5.3 statistical software. Results. Ten studies involving 1844 patients with complex caliceal calculi or staghorn stones met the inclusion criteria. Single-tract percutaneous nephrolithotomy (STPCNL) had noninferior clinical efficacy with respect to the immediate SFR ( odds ratio OR = 0.80 , 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.46 to 1.38), p = 0.42 ) and 3-month SFR ( OR = 1.22 , 95% CI (0.38 to 3.92), p = 0.74 ) compared with multiple-tract percutaneous nephrolithotomy (MTPCNL). In addition, pooled analyses showed that STPCNL resulted in significantly lower hemoglobin decreases ( MD = − 0.46 , 95% CI (-0.68 to -0.25), p < 0.0001 ), fewer blood transfusions ( OR = 0.48 , 95% CI (0.34 to 0.67), p < 0.0001 ), and fewer pulmonary complications ( OR = 0.28 , 95% CI (0.09 to 0.83), p = 0.02 ) than MTPCNL. However, the overall evidence was insufficient to suggest a statistically significant difference for other adverse events. Conclusion. This meta-analysis indicated that STPCNL is an effective method for treating complex caliceal calculi or staghorn stones. Compared with MTPCNL, STPCNL not only yields similarly high SFRs but also is associated with many advantages, less blood loss, fewer blood transfusions, and fewer pulmonary complications without an increase in other complications. However, the findings of this study should be further confirmed by well-designed prospective randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with a larger patient series.
