Abstract

this article consolidates all of the meta-studys principal data for easy access. Readers interested in further scrutinizing the numerical counts that are graphed and discussed in Sections 3 and 4 can consult the appendix, which indicates the precise manner in which each of the SV effectiveness studies is classified
