p<0.05 (uncorrected). The symbol ‘—’ indicates no significant between-group difference. Inline graphic and Inline graphic represent the integrated nodal degree and nodal efficiency, respectively. Cohen d indicates the value of effect size. The small, medium, and large levels of the effect size are 0.2, 0.5, and 0.8, respectively, according to Cohen's definition [38]. The threshold was
