The Claim
The included studies in this meta-analysis were all classified as having some concern for risk of bias, primarily due to inadequate reporting of randomization and lack of pre-registration, which limits confidence in the validity of the findings.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
The studies used in this meta-analysis had methodological flaws, such as poor reporting of how participants were assigned to groups and no public registration before the study began, which reduces confidence in the results.

When experiments are not properly planned and recorded, the measurements taken do not accurately reflect what really happened in the body, making it impossible to trust the results.
What the research says
1 studyThe study didn’t directly check if the original experiments were done well, but its results were too uncertain to be sure of anything — which often happens when the original studies weren’t reported clearly or registered ahead of time.
