Yes, meta-study is the same as meta-analysis but in medicine meta-study is actually quite common, at least at the university where I studied.
Literature review is not higher that meta-analysis. It quotes one study but how reliable it is?
What about ivermectin? A lot of studies find it effective. That's not the final conclusion however.
- CRConrad 5y agoNo pie for you. Have the smarts to just concede when you've been comprehensively out-argued; you'd look so much less of a fool that way.
- eesmith 5y agoYou haven't pointed to any meta-analysis so it's a rather moot point. If you want to play the FUD game, I'll again remind you that the sole citation you've provided is to a non-peer reviewed review in a personal newsletter. You still haven't explained how you can interpret a paper with statement like: > The package of measures contained in the red policy well responds to the need of quickly reducing the speed of transmission of COVID-19 and consequent hospitalizations" as having "no clear data that showed that the red zones in Italy were effective". Based on this exchange so far, I have precisely zero faith that you can wade through the misinformation on ivermectin - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_misinformation#Ivermectin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_misinformation#Iverme... - or understand the relevant research literature - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_drug_repurposing_research#Ivermectin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_drug_repurposing_rese... . To quote you - "everybody on the internet is an expert and reads one study, selectively quotes something without even understanding full implications and thinks that they have proven everything. No, that's not a game I am playing here."
