I am not sure I follow you. Didn't the meta analysis compare the number of studies in which SSRI's were superior to placebo to the number of studies in which SSRI's are inferior to placebo. I don't understand statistical significance in this context. In any given clinical trial, the rate of active drug responce is either higher or lower than the placebo responce.
