     This meta-analysis, if done, would likely have resulted in the
     treatment being widely used a decade earlier than it was, saving
     many lives. The graph is part of the logo of the Cochrane
     Collaboration, a group aiming to perform systematic reviews of the
     entire clinical trial literature.
