Cross-sectional studies
 FE model 15 3391 11.5 10.4 to 12.6
 RE model 15 3391 15.1 7.9 to 23.9 343.5 <0.001 95.9 94.5 to 97.0
 RE model without outliers 14 3295 13.0 7.0 to 20.3 253.9 <0.001 94.9 92.9 to 96.3
 RE in subgroup analysis 1 7 1228 12.3 1.2 to 31.3 120.9 <0.001 95.0 92.0 to 96.9
 FE in subgroup analysis 2 2 161 12.9 8.0 to 18.7
Subgroup analysis 1: BD-I samples only.
Subgroup analysis 2: BD-II samples only; since there were two studies only, the FE model was reported.

Subgroup analysis 1: BD-I samples only.
Subgroup analysis 2: BD-II samples only.

BD, bipolar disorder; FE, fixed-effect model; k, number of included studies; n, number of patients in the included studies; RE, random-effects model with empirical Bayes estimator.
