But if you're selling a drug, aren't you going to rely on just the studies that show the efficacy of your product? If your drug _isn't_ the best according to the meta-analyses, this tool is of no help to you. And even if your drug _is_ the best according to the meta-analyses, that's because there are already multiple studies that show how good your drug is, and you can overstate your product's value by throwing out the rest of the studies.

Agreed, at that point the value proposition is to some trying to close a sale to overcome the objection that the supplied studies are cherry picked.

Its... uh.... niche.
