"Esa es la conclusión de un estudio llevado a cabo en la Escuela de Medicina de la Universidad de Yale, en Estados Unidos."
This translates to:
"That's the conclusion of a study conducted at the School of Medicine, Yale University, U.S.."
But I still don't understand why the cabo is there.

llevar a cabo, o al cabo, algo.
1. locs. verbs. Ejecutarlo, concluirlo.

Cabo means extreme or end, so "llevar a cabo" means "to take something to the end".
