grammatical number - Should I use a singular or plural verb in ", which VERB/VERBs"?

I have the following sentence, and I have a question about it. I’m wondering if there’s something so simple that I’m just overlooking it or whether there is some super-sophisticated tenet of grammar that I’ve not ever learned before.





Two other studies with follow-up times of five or six years revealed similar findings [104, 105], which suggests that physical activity can delay onset of dementia by elevation of the threshold to be exceeded before pathology is exhibited.




Question: I know that singular suggests is the right verb by the sound of it, not plural suggest despite the two studies, but what is the technical reason?
