Abbreviation: CI, confidence interval.
No data from case series or abstracts were included in this primary analysis.
Data from FIT‐1 and FIT‐2 were treated as one study in meta‐analysis.
The I 2 statistic may be biased when the number of contributing studies is small, and the 95% CI should be included in the interpretation of a point estimate.
