The Prompt

I am going to give you [NUMBER] sources on the topic of [TOPIC]. Your job is to perform a meta-analysis and synthesis.

For each source:
- Identify the main claim or finding
- Note the methodology or evidence type
- Assess the strength of the evidence (strong / moderate / weak / anecdotal)
- Identify any conflicts of interest or potential bias

Across all sources:
1. What findings are consistent across multiple sources? (High confidence conclusions)
2. Where do the sources contradict each other? What explains the disagreement?
3. What is the overall weight of evidence telling us?
4. What important questions are NOT answered by any of these sources?
5. What would a sceptic say about the strongest conclusion here?

End with a "state of the evidence" paragraph I could cite in my own work.
