I would like to know what studies they actually used in their analysis but couldn’t find it in their paper.

There was another meta analysis of 10 studies posted here the other day, but it included several studies that had fatal flaws according to the reviewers. In fact, one was so flawed, 100 doctors signed a letter to JAMA asking them to retract it from their publication.

The meta analyses I have read rarely list the individual studies that were included. This information is often available from the authors or in supplemental appendices available from the journal.

Yes. My point was simply that the conclusions from published meta analyses concerning the effectiveness of ivermectin are mixed.
