French to English translations [PRO]
Science - Mathematics & Statistics / meta-analysis of pharma. research
French term or phrase: SAP
Ainsi, malgré que cette règle ait été édictée dans les *SAP* des études, cela n’empêche pas de considérer les résultats de la méta-analyse comme central dans la démonstration de l’efficacité (compte tenu de la discordance de résultats qualitatifs.

Dans le *SAP* cette analyse poolée est mentionnée dans la version initiale en tant qu’analyse primaire de l’efficacité.

As evidenced by the use of 'poolée', the author of this research paper is quite comfortable using English terms, so it is possible that SAP is an English acronym.

I don't think this refers to Systems, Applications, and Products in Data Processing "the leading ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software package."

neutral  Nigel Wheatley: "plan" or "protocol" seem to fit the context better than "package"

  -> Yes, they are certainly possible. But I'd have expected the full phrase of either to have preceeded the acronym SAP in that case.
agree  rkillings: "package" it is; see https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/List_of_stati...
