Deka in Medicine is the open-access journal of Deka Institute (PT. Deka Research Group), which is established to support open access and knowledge sharing among medical scientists. The journal publishes three highly informative issues every year (in April, August, and December) at the appropriate intervals to circulate research findings properly throughout the year. As a beacon of high standards in academics, Deka in Medicine observes very stringent measures in peer reviewing and kindly welcomes the contributions of world scholars and researchers with open arms. The journal aims to promote knowledge by being disseminated across the globe in English and further advocates for a platform that would enable scholars and researchers to carry on scientific discussion and collaboration within the discipline. The key objective of this journal is to serve as a medium through which clinical and basic research can be promoted in the varied medical sciences. The journal was noted for its broad material cover, embracing topics in different areas under the dominion of medical sciences—from clinical and basic medical sciences to medicine and applied medical sciences. It is through such comprehensive coverage that the journal hopes to provide an integrated view of the dynamic complexities within the sphere of medical sciences, from which the spread of new insights and innovations in clinical practices, research methodologies, and therapeutic interventions may emanate. It additionally aims to contribute to the development and improvement of medical knowledge and practices around the world. To address the wide range of interests of clinical practitioners and researchers, it is a leading forum whereby different scholars, intellectuals, and practitioners from diverse regions across the globe present their academic perspectives and research activities. These are intended to foster mutual intellectual interchange internationally, open up educational opportunities, and initiate collaborations. Deka in Medicine publishes diversified scholarly contributions, ranging from original research articles, review articles, brief reports, case studies, and case series elucidating enlightening editorial reports, and commentaries. The breadth of publication by the journal is an attempt to be more than just a vehicle for the dissemination of the latest research but aims to be a channel that allows for scholarly exchange, facilitates the distribution of knowledge, and advances medical sciences.

Abstract

Meta-analysis has emerged as an increasingly vital method for synthesizing scientific evidence in support of data-driven decision-making. To maximize its contribution, meta-analysis manuscripts must be written in a systematic and informative manner. This article aims to provide a conceptual and technical guide on how to write a meta-analysis article that adheres to international scientific standards. In reporting meta-analyses, the title serves as a critical entry point for both readers and reviewers; therefore, it should clearly reflect the population, intervention, and outcome of interest, and include the phrase “a systematic review and meta-analysis” to facilitate indexing. An effective abstract should be concise and well-structured, encompassing the background, objective, methods, main findings, and conclusion, while maintaining clarity and self-sufficiency. The selection of keywords is equally important, as it significantly enhances article visibility in scientific databases; thus, the use of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) is strongly encouraged. The introduction should present a logical framework that outlines the broader research issue and the specific covariates under analysis, along with clearly formulated objectives and hypotheses. The methods section must transparently describe the literature search strategy, inclusion and exclusion criteria, study quality appraisal, and statistical approaches, all aligned with PRISMA guidelines. Results should be reported systematically, with attention to heterogeneity, publication bias, and consistency of effects. The discussion should synthesize findings in relation to existing literature and theory, address study limitations, and identify directions for future research. The conclusion should highlight the clinical or scientific relevance of the main findings and outline opportunities for future exploration. When written in accordance with proper structure and scholarly principles, a meta-analysis article can achieve strong academic value and broad contributions to science and clinical practice.
