What are the most significant / influential / persuasive peer-reviewed studies / metastudies on anthropogenic climate change?
Particulary interested in reading a set of papers that span a variety of input parameters.
Also interested in reading some of the (relatively) most rigorous dissenting peer-reviewed (by reputable journals) studies / metastudies if there are any.
Thanks!

Have you read the extensive summaries of the IPPCC AR6 synthesis reports? They synthesize hundreds of studies and give readable conclusions on many aspects.
There are no rigorous 'dissenting' meta-analyses on anthropogenic climate change because there isn't any rigorous scientific basis on which to dissent from basic fact that human emissions have changed our climate. There are reasonable expert scientists who quibble over the details but not over the basic claims. (I am a scientist who has worked and published on some aspects of climate change).

You might be interested in Berkeley Earth, which was an effort by folks who felt that the scientific consensus was potentially biased, and aimed to look at observations from as objective point of view as possible. They were funded in part by the Charles G. Koch Foundation, and was praised at the time by prominent climate skeptics (e.g. Andrew Watts).

Arguably the most influential climate change study was probably Mann, Bradley, and Hughes 1999, featuring the infamous "Hockey Stick Graph". That figure was featured in the 2001 third IPCC report, and I echo others that all the most useful studies and data are well summarized in the IPCC reports and that there is no longer really anywhere to find credible dissension because every time somebody tries they come to the same conclusion that everyone else has.
