Do tire liners reduce the odds of having a flat..

By that I mean the liners that are inserted between the tube and thread of the tire.. Seems flats come in spurts.. maybe 6 months with none and then 6 in one month.. Last string of flats , I inserted the brand " Stop Flats 2," for 28 mm road tires. I've seen no difference.. I've had two flats within in the 2 weeks.. Each flat is a small pin hole leak facing outwards towards the tire liner..
My question. .Maybe where the ends of the liner meet, maybe that is a cause of friction. ?
Who votes they help or hurt.. Thanks.
