Literature Analysis

I have a question for you: If you do a study and get a fairly large difference between the experimental group and the control group, but the results are not statistically significant (perhaps due to small group size), is the study worth anything? Click here.
The flow chart contains a discussion of three types of literature analysis:

Structured Literature Review;

Meta-analysis, and;

Decision analysis.
