  @citc "The Cochrane Handbook, widely considered the gold standard for systematic review methodology, explicitly warns against this approach: “Splitting comparisons carries its own risk of there being too few studies to yield a useful synthesis.” The Handbook advises review authors to use “broader questions” that “may be useful for identifying important leads” in cases where splitting comparisons yield too few useful studies." Does that warning make sense to you and for some reason you think it isn't applicable? Or is that not an area you've looked into?
