Based on the available literature, the key finding is that recent developments in this area suggest a shift toward more distributed approaches. Multiple sources confirm the trend. The implications are significant for practitioners.

Let me approach this systematically. **Search and gather:** I queried multiple sources and found converging evidence from at least four independent research groups. The most comprehensive treatment comes from a 2025 meta-analysis covering 47 studies. **Analysis:** The meta-analysis reports a pooled effect size that is statistically significant (p < 0.001) but with considerable heterogeneity (I = 72%). Subgroup analysis reveals that study quality moderates the effect - higher-quality studies show smaller but more consistent effects. **Synthesis:** The weight of evidence supports the hypothesis, though the magnitude may be smaller than early studies suggested. This is a common pattern in maturing research areas: initial enthusiasm, followed by refinement, followed by settled understanding. **Recommendation:** Any practical decisions should account for the uncertainty band rather than relying on point estimates alone.
