In response to "There is No Meta-Analytic Evidence of Blueberries Improving Cognitive Performance or Mood"

We thank Brydges and Gaeta (2019) for their letter regarding our systematic review of blueberry interventions for cognitive performance (Travica et al., 2019). In this letter, the authors conduct a p-curve analysis, a method that was developed to detect selective reporting of outcomes in published manuscripts (Simonsohn et al., 2014), and concluded that the included studies in this research area “do not contain evidential value”. While we acknowledge the published limitations of this approach (Bishop and Thompson, 2016, van Aert et al., 2016), we welcome the added support for our original conclusions that while there is emerging evidence for blueberry interventions for cognitive outcomes, further studies are required to address existing limitations.
