\textbf{Conclusion}  Of the studies analyzed in this review, only 50{percent} 50\text{percent}  utilized a quantitative method for determining the presence of heterogeneity. It is the impression of this study that the use of quantitative and qualitative heterogeneity measurement tools should be utilized in meta-analyses to reduce the risk of spurious findings being integrated into medical practice. This tool will help determine whether or not a meta-analysis can be performed prior to investing time in said meta-analysis. This is preferable to performing a quantitative measurement of heterogeneity after the fact to indicate whether or not the study analysis is trustworthy.
