High-Yield Explanation
As a single study unit, double blind RCT is the best: "The efficacy of new interventions are most readily accepted if the results are from randomized controled trial" Peer Review & Biomedical publication However, overall meta-analysis is a better study since it combines the data from multiple RCT and also from other types of study.
