Not really. An example - you want to find out about ivermectin in COVID-19 treatment. You go to PubMed, enter the keywords and choose Meta-analysis as Article type filter.

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=

The Conclusions section usually contains all you want to know and for the first two results it explicitly warns about little evidence.

My own conclusion: tread with caution. The results are unconfirmed and anyone who says "IVERMECTIN CURES" with confidence is talking BS.
