Table 3. Tests for publication bias and trim-and-fill ORs.
| Outcome | Begg p-Value | Egger p-Value | Original OR (95% CI)a | Trim and Fill OR (95% CI) |
| Invasive meningococcal disease | 0.015 | 0.060 | 2.02 (1.52–2.69) | 1.66 (1.22–2.24) |
| Meningococcal carriage | 0.624 | 0.065 | 1.67 (1.12–2.52) | 1.32 (0.91–1.92) |
| Invasive pneumococcal disease | 0.042 | 0.012 | 1.21 (0.69–2.14) | 0.83 (0.45–1.53) |
| Pneumococcal carriage | 0.327 | 0.255 | 1.66 (1.33–2.07) | NA |
| Invasive Hib disease | 0.537 | 0.777 | 1.22 (0.93–1.62) | NA |
| Hib carriage | 0.317 | NA | 0.96 (0.48–1.95) | NA |
Trim-and-fill ORs were calculated when publication bias tests were statistically significant.
