It's a meta study, and 7 studies is more than sufficient to establish statistical significance. There's also no issue with the study titles.
Would you like to pick which of those seven studies was most correlated and effective at proving OP point?
I gotta be honest with you chief if I was a scientist, trying to establish a point. And I had the choice between a meta-analysis and running an actual study….. I would run a study and not a meta analysis. For only the fact that he examined 87 studies and could barely find 7 to use for his analysis. The bar for scientific publishing is in hell. But hey look at the audience.
Really? Ones about women vaping on opioids. Two of them were about dual users of cigarettes and ecigarettes. None of them came close to correlating with OP‘s statement.
would you like to summarize those seven studies with me and see if there’s any relationship in there?
I already told you I'm no longer engaging with your exponential growth comment method. Fuck off.
