*Number of studies included in estimates for each listed risk factor.
BMI, body mass index; CAD, coronary artery disease; DM, diabetes mellitus; HTN, hypertension.
Columns in bold correspond to pooled HR (95%CI) to differentiate from the Trim-fill HR (95%CI) in the same table. The latter is obtained from Duval and Tweedie's method to check for publication bias.
