It's one of several studies which compiles thousands of studies regarding the subject.And that was one of the studies we dissected. I don't intend on demonstrating why it's nonsense, again. It's too bad you weren't reading when it happened.
You should be able to do it yourself if you actually read the papers, though (not just the abstracts).
After all, that is one of the criticisms for such "reviews of literature". Abstracts can be misleading since they are the "selling" point, meant to suck you into reading the paper. That's another reason why those "reviews of abstracts" are laughable since the scientists involved won't publish their thoughts and opinions in them, saving it for "Discussion of Results" sections.
I can give you a tip, too, for discerning which papers have something conclusive. When reading abstracts, if you see something such as "and we found xxxxx to be accurate to +/- XXXX with a chi-square of XXX," then you can be more sure the study itself has some concrete experiment involved with modelling of hypotheses.
If the paper uses subjective language to imply something in the abstract, it is probably a light-weight piece, if not garbage.
Deniers are having trouble linking anything. I linked peer reviewed studies about peer reviewed studies.
