I'd like to see effect sizes, and perhaps the result of running the reviewed studies through the p-curve tool accompanying such claims.

I agree that this would be good, but didn't think it was worthwhile for me to go through the extra effort in this case. But I did think it was worthwhile to share what I had already found. I think I was very clear about how closely this had been vetted (which is to say, extremely little).

Yep, thanks for sharing this!
