Identify at least four specific weaknesses: publication bias toward positive findings, inadequate quality assessment of included studies, insufficient handling of heterogeneity across age groups, and geographic sampling limitations. Propose three concrete improvements: implementing funnel plot analysis, adopting standardized risk-of-bias tools, and stratifying meta-analysis by developmental stage. Evaluate using a five-point rubric scoring comprehensiveness, methodological transparency, bias mitigation, and synthesis quality.
