(a) Forest plot and (b) subgroup analysis of the data of eight included experiments. The forest plot displays the OR, 95% confidence interval and relative weight of the individual studies. The diamond indicates the global estimate and its 95% confidence interval. (c) effectsizes and 95% confidence interval of three studies presenting continuous data which were not included in meta-analysis in order to reduce heterogeneity.
