If the cell contains three or more studies, we have produced a synthesis of them. This saves you having to read them all (🙂). At the top of the list in the pop-up box is a summary of our synthesis:

If you click in that cell, up comes a list of all the studies in it: which in this case is six. The main box will have our summary of our synthesis of the studies in that cell.
