Summary
Meta-analysis of 380 random-number-generator psychokinesis studies reporting a very small overall effect while emphasizing heterogeneity and possible publication bias.
Why it matters here
The key modern meta-analytic source for micro-PK claims: important because it reports a signal but also makes the interpretive weakness visible.
Editorial note
The reported effect is tiny and sensitive to methodological concerns, so it should not be used as standalone evidence for practical mind-over-matter claims.
