When a continuous variable (such as pain) is measured in a variety of ways across studies (using different scales), it may prove impossible to compare or combine the study results in a meta-analysis. If the effects are expressed as a standardised value, the results can be combined, since they are no longer expressed as units of measurement. 3, record 1, English, - standardized%20mean%20difference

Lorsqu’une variable continue (comme la douleur) est mesurée de différentes façons d’une étude à l’autre (à l’aide de différentes échelles), il peut s’avérer impossible de comparer ou de combiner les résultats des études dans une méta-analyse. En exprimant les effets en valeur standardisée, on peut combiner les résultats puisqu’ils ne sont plus exprimés en unités de mesure. 3, record 1, French, - diff%C3%A9rence%20des%20moyennes%20standardis%C3%A9es
