Begg funnel plot of all studies. The Begg test (39) is a measure of publication bias and tests whether the Begg rank correlation between effect size and its SE is zero. Pseudo confidence intervals are the points connected by the diagonal lines forming the “funnel” on the funnel plot; they are the expected 95% confidence intervals for a given SE (depicted as increasing along the x-axis).
