n/N = number of positive associations/number of total investigated associations

0 = 0–33 % of the findings supporting the association = unrelated evidence

(+) or (−) = 34–59 % of the findings supporting the association = evidence for a possible association

+ or - = 60–100 % of the findings supporting a positive or negative association = convincing evidence

? =variable was investigated in less than three studies
