Line chart titled "Cumulative Meta-analysis" showing standardized mean difference on the y-axis and study sequence by publication year on the x-axis, with effect stabilizing after 2019 and shaded 95 percent confidence error bands. — Cumulative meta-analysis of intervention effects over time. Studies were sequentially added according to publication year. Each point represents the pooled SMD after inclusion of the corresponding study, and the shaded area represents the 95% CI. Negative SMD values indicate greater reductions in depressive symptoms, favoring traditional Chinese mind–body exercise. The vertical dashed line marks the year after which the cumulative effect estimate became relatively stable.
