Moderate heterogeneity among the studies present;
The funnel plot is suggestive of an asymmetrical presence of research on each side of the central line and the presence of most of the studies outside the plot; hence, it is likely that significant publication bias is present;
High heterogeneity among the studies present;
The funnel plot is suggestive of an asymmetrical presence of research on each side of the central line; hence, it is likely that significant publication bias is present;
The risk in the intervention group (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).
