I wouldn't downvote you, but I think you should be aware that meta-analysis is making the case that homeopathy is better than placebo and has an unknown mechanism of working, which is a much bolder claim than you originally made.

I disagree with the results of the risk of bias assessments of the studies involved in that meta-analysis: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41390-022-02127-3/tables/1

Out of the 6 studies used, only 2 are from general research institutions. The other 4 are all specialists in homeopathy or private practices using homeopathy. Seems like the risk of bias there would be extremely high.
