This review confirms the findings of a previous review that the studies are of poor quality, which disallows the use of meta-analysis, and the findings are inconclusive.
“Overall, this review confirms the findings of a previous review [27] that the studies are of poor quality, which disallows the use of meta-analysis, and the findings are inconclusive.”

In Strengths and limitations (page unavailable), the review says all included studies were judged to be of moderate or good quality, directly contrary to the claim that they were of poor quality. Its Summary of findings (page unavailable) says some safety and cessation questions remain unclear, but the cited passages do not say that poor study quality prevented meta-analysis. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
