Abstract
If several small studies are pooled without consideration of the bias introduced by the inherent mathematical properties of the logistic regression model, researchers may be mislead to erroneous interpretation of the results.

Tests for small-study effects should routinely be performed in meta-analysis, particularly for moderate amounts of bias or meta-analyses based on a small number of small studies.

A hierarchical step-model for causation of bias is presented, which depicts a real-life study as departing from a perfect setting and proceeding step-wise towards a calculated, often adjusted, effect-parameter.

The bias of several point estimators of the odds ratio arising from matched-pair data is investigated and simple alternatives to the traditional maximum likelihood estimator are suggested, on both the original scale and the logarithm scale.

A new and simple estimator is found to perform better than almost any other estimators, including the conditional likelihood estimator, both for point and interval estimation for a wide range of sample sizes.
