If the demographics/covariates are different between the groups, then you can't be sure if you have a study
effect of a covariate effect. Imagine if you have one study of all males, with CL = 1 l/min and another with
all females, CL = 2 l/min. Is this a study effect or a gender effect? No way to know.
