While there may not be studies to "prove" that increasing visibilty makes you safer, I would have to say it does based on my experiences both as a cyclist and a motorist. Anectodal? Sure... but worst case it's much harder for someone to argue that they "couldn't see you" when you're lit up like a christmas tree :D
Ok on to what you can do to be more visible...
MonkeyLights? I've heard wonderful things about them and they really help your side visibility (good for intersections) plus they look badass. Much more expensive than those wheel reflectors though and require battery power.
I've also been really impressed by the reflective ankle bands. The pedal movement is very distinctive and the ones I've seen are very bright.
I also really like these high vis gloves I got last year. Makes it easy to see hand signals when my Jacket is configured as a vest.
