AB  - H, Bosch, F. Steinkamp, and E. Boller's (2006) meta-analysis, which demonstrated (a) a small but highly significant overall effect, (b) a small- study effect, and (c) extreme heterogeneity has provked widely differing responses. After considering D. B. Wilson and  W. R. Shadish's (2006) and D. Radin, R. Nelson, Y Dobyns, and J. Houtkooper's (2006) concern about the possible effects of psychological moderator variables, the potential for missing data, and the difficulties inherent in any meta-analytic data, the authors reaffirm their view that publication bias is the most parsimonious model to account  for all 3 findings. However, until compulsory registration of trials occurs, it cannot be proven that the effect is in fact attributable to publication bias, and it remains up to the indiviudual reader to decide how the results are best and most parsimonously interpreted.  -- (from the author)
