That's simply not something that meta-analysis can do. It does not account for variation in dosage and methods, all it does is weight studies by their variance and provide a weighted mean/median
The point I was making is that meta-analysis does not "correct" for bad data in any way, nor does it resolve underlying issues with the research

And no one is saying it does. But it only takes a cursory understanding of meta analysis to know that if you pool studies with different approaches/treatments, in different populations/ cultures... you are going to dampen the effect those outside influences have on your result

That is simply incorrect. Entirely wrong
