What rules of thumb do you use to 'keep this in mind'? I generally try to never put anything in my brain that just has one or two studies behind it. I've been thinking of that more as 'it's easy to make a mistake in a study' and 'maybe this author has some bias that I am unaware of', but perhaps this cuts in the opposite direction.
Actually, even with many studies and a meta-analysis, you can still get blindsided by publication bias. There are plenty of psi meta-analyses showing positive effects (with studies that were not pre-registered, and are probably very selected), and many more in medicine and elsewhere.
