Random effects models of standardized mean differences (SMD) are the sources of the significance tests for the SMDs within levels of each moderator. The meta-regression models are mixed effects models using full maximum likelihood estimation.

k = number of studies, SMD = standardized mean difference, L = lower limit of the 95% confidence interval for the SMD, U = upper limit of the 95% confidence interval for the SMD
