A preprint entitled "Anomalous information reception by mediums: A meta-analysis of the scientific evidence" has been uploaded by ResearchGate by Patrizio Tressoldi. It includes studies published from 2001 onwards. Information about the authors has been removed so that future reviewers can be blind to its authorship. The authors would like as much feedback as possible:

Here is the abstract:
"Background and purpose: Mediumship is the ostensible phenomenon of human-mediated communication between deceased and living persons. In this paper, we perform a meta-analysis of all available modern experimental evidence up to December 2019 investigating the accuracy of apparently anomalous information provided by mediums about deceased individuals.
Methods: Fourteen papers passed our selection criteria, for a total of 18 experiments. Both Bayesian and frequentist random effects models were used to estimate the aggregate effect size across studies.
Results: The overall standardized effect size (proportion index), estimated both with a frequentist and a Bayesian random effects model, yielded a value of .18 (95% C.I. = .12 - .25), above the chance level. Furthermore, these estimates passed the control of two publication bias tests.
Conclusions: The results of this meta-analysis support the hypothesis that some mediums can retrieve information about deceased persons through unknown means."
