Turbulators?

I think that's what they're called, the spike-like things on the roof of the car where it starts to curve for the back window, seen them mainly on Mitsubishi. Question is: DO THEY REALLY HELP?
Do they make the car more aerodynamic, apparently they're supposed to "trip" the airflow, I think by decreasing the size (or something) of the vortexes that occur at the end of the car. Any thoughts, advice, data?
