A meta-analysis communicates through a small set of standard, expected exhibits. Psychological Bulletin reviewers look for a PRISMA flow diagram, a forest plot, funnel/bias plots, and MARS-ready summary tables, all in APA 7th-edition format. This skill covers exhibit design; the numbers come from the analysis skills.
Psychological Bulletin referees scan the exhibits before the prose: a synthesis missing its standard visual vocabulary signals an immature manuscript. The decision table they apply:
| Exhibit | Referee expects | Common desk-reject pattern |
|---|---|---|
| PRISMA flow | Counts that reconcile to the search log and text | Diagram numbers that don't add up to the reported k |
| Forest plot | Per-study CI, weights, pooled diamond, prediction interval | A bare list of dots with no pooled estimate or PI |
| Funnel/bias | Contour-enhanced, paired with a formal test | Funnel alone, captioned "no bias" — over-reading a picture |
| Study table | One row per study, all effect-size inputs recoverable | Missing ns/SDs, so effect sizes cannot be reverified |
| Summary-of-findings | k, pooled g, CI, I²/τ², PI, bias result in one place | Scattered numbers a reader must reassemble |
Illustrative figures, not real data. For the k = 42, g = 0.34, I² = 68% self-affirmation synthesis above, the exhibit set this skill requires looks like:
【PRISMA diagram】present + reconciles with search log? [Y/N]
【Forest plot】weights + pooled + prediction interval? [Y/N]
【Funnel / bias plots】present? [Y/N]
【Study-characteristics table】MARS-complete? [Y/N]
【APA 7th + accessible】numbered, colorblind-safe, vector? [Y/N]
【Reproducible】regenerates from scripts? [Y/N]
