-We can now compare the two estimates (i.e., the estimated average log risk ratios) by feeding them back to the ''rma()'' function and using the variable to distinguish the two estimates as a moderator. We use a fixed-effects model, because the (residual) heterogeneity within each subset has already been accounted for by fitting random-effects models above.
