Carl, following that link to its source brought me here: http://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/index.jsp?action=download&o=33188, where several randomized trials are mentioned.

I know I'm not teaching Robin anything, but it should be noted that meta-analyses often fail to overcome publication selection biases.
