I did see this meta-analysis a while back, which used 20k individual patients' data from 39 trials. I'm skeptical, tho I haven't looked in closely / critically at the analysis yet. Has anyone?https://www.jpain.org/article/S1526-5900(17)30780-0/abstract?platform=hootsuite …

It's an update of a 2012 meta-analysis that everyone touted.
