Text on the meme
You can pull the lever at any time but there are no peer-reviewed studies demonstrating the effectiveness of lever pulling for reducing deaths in people tied to train tracks.
What it means

A hand-drawn trolley approaches several people tied to the tracks while a person stands beside a lever. The joke parodies excessive reliance on peer-reviewed evidence by refusing to act without studies proving that pulling the lever saves lives. It is shared as a sarcastic reaction to bureaucratic hesitation or analysis paralysis.
