On: Creatine supplementation increases memory performance, study finds

Nothing new really. Also, it’s not really this study that found this, it‘s the original studies that this meta study is based on. Are people in academia actually still doing original research? (sorry for the rant)

Meta studies are more useful than "original research" in aggregating known results. They are the ones that laypeople should be interested in.

They can also very easily be used to get one or the other desired outcome based on inclusion criteria.

Just like any other research. I'm assuming good faith and some sort of quality control in this context. If you can't assume that, then you can't really trust any research.

Sadly no and that is my rant about academia these days also.

I remember reading a primary study about this back in the 2010s. I didn't RTFA and they probably call upon the study I'm thinking of.
