? A meta-analysis of 67 studies is pretty big. Given
that at least one of the included studies had over a million
subjects, I'm guessing the number of cases in the meta-analysis
was pretty darned big.

"The studies examined to determine the link between birth spacing and
the risk of undesirable birth results included 20 conducted in this
country. The other 47 were done in 61 nations in Latin America, Asia,
Africa, Europe and Australia. The studies looked at more than 11
million pregnancies around the globe."

Pretty big sample.
