If not accounted for properly, this plethora of analytical approaches can lead to an inflated rate of false positives and contribute to the irreproducibility of neuroimaging findings. Multiverse analyses are a way to systematically explore pipeline variations on a given dataset. We focus on the setting where multiple statistic maps are produced as an output of a set of analyses originating from a single dataset. However, having multiple outputs for the same research question\u2014corresponding to different analytical approaches\u2014makes it especially challenging to draw conclusions and interpret the findings. Meta-analysis is a natural approach to extract consensus inferences from these maps, yet the traditional assumption of independence among input datasets does not hold here. In this work, we consider a suite of methods to conduct meta-analysis in the multiverse setting, which we call same data meta-analysis (SDMA), accounting for inter-pipeline dependence among the results. First, we assessed the validity of these methods in simulations. Then, we tested them on the multiverse outputs of two real-world multiverse analyses: \u201cNARPS\u201d, a multiverse study originating from the same dataset analyzed by 70 different teams, and \u201cHCP Young Adult\u201d, a more homogeneous multiverse analysis using 24 different pipelines analyzed by the same team. Our findings demonstrate the validity of our proposed SDMA models under inter-pipeline dependence, and provide an array of options, with different levels of relevance, for the analysis of multiverse outputs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1162\/imag_a_00513","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,6]],"date-time":"2025-03-06T20:01:51Z","timestamp":1741291311000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1162\/mitpressjournals.corrections.policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Statistical
