According to the heterogeneity between dose-response data across different studies and the potential nonlinear trend within the dose-response relationship, there are several models for trend estimation from summarized dose-response data, with applications to meta-analysis. However, up to now, there is no guideline of conducting a metaanalysis of dose-response data. After summarizing the previous papers, this paper focuses on how to select the right model for conducting a meta-analysis of dose-response data based on the heterogeneity across different studies, the goodness of fit, and the P value of overall association between exposure and event. Then a preliminary statistical process of conducting a meta-analysis of dose-response data is proposed.
