Only bins with p value for average rank ≤0.05 in the weighted analyses are shown. Three heterogeneity statistics (Q, Ha, and B) are shown as described by Zintzaras and Ioannidis.⁽¹⁷⁾ For heterogeneity, left-sided p < 0.05 signifies low heterogeneity and left-sided p ≥ 0.95 (right-sided p < 0.05) signifies high heterogeneity. The relative weights for the included studies are as follows: 0.15 for S1, 0.14 for S2, 0.06 for S3, 0.22 for S5, 0.17 for S6, 0.09 for S7, 0.08 for S8, and 0.09 for S9.

^*Heterogeneity metrics restricted for the average rank statistic of the pertinent bin.

p_ord, p value for the p_ord statistic; p_rank, p value for average rank.
