Moderated

CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio; HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c; PCG, passive control group; MD, mean difference; RCT, randomized controlled trial; AE, adverse event.

a

Moderate heterogeneity among the studies present;

b

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;

c

High heterogeneity among the studies present;

d

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;

e

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).
