Presumably, you also got a BibTeX error of the type (it's in the .blg file):

Database file #5: xxxxx.bib
I was expecting a `,' or a `}'---line nn of file xxxxx.bib
 :
 :    publisher = {SAS Institute},
(Error may have been on previous line)
I'm skipping whatever remains of this entry

which points pretty well to the source of the problem: the previous line is

   title = {Integrating results through meta-analytic review using SAS
software}

and is missing a closing comma!
