Undue weight on the 2013 meta analysis? Not enough on the 2020

I think we need to make a WP:MEDRS pass on this article. In particular, a lot hinges on the 2013 (Lee & Cuijpers) review. However, in the 2020 meta analysis they say they could not "confirm" the 2013 review. Further, in the 2020 analysis they say it is the "first systematic review of randomized trials examining the effects of EMDR for any mental health problem." From the text of the article a lay reader gets the impression that the quality of the research is much better than it really is. The 2013 analysis is presented as more definitive than it is. If I'm reading this right, we should probably make it more clear that the previous reviews are not reviews of randomized trials. And the 2013 review is particularly weak. Persuasive in this regard is the fact that one of the leads on the 2013 analysis (Cuijpers) is the lead on the 2020 one. Further, I think some low quality and old studies should be deleted from the article. Does anyone want to help with this?DolyaIskrina (talk) 16:44, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
