Meta-analysis of the extracted results for body weight, body fat and energy intake in high versus low glycaemic index fed animals. A plot of the calculated effect size and sampling variance for each of the three traits either as a whole or broken down by confounding factor: (a) Body Weight; All, Length of Diet and Dietary Fat n = 35, Mice n = 14, Rats n = 21, Female n = 4, Male n = 31, Starting Age n = 32; (b) Body Fat; All, Length of Diet and Dietary Fat n = 18, Mice n = 9, Rats n = 9, Female n = 2, Male n = 16, Starting Age n = 17; and (c) Energy Intake; All, Length of Diet and Dietary Fat n = 19, Mice n = 10, Rats n = 9, Female n = 2, Male n = 17, Starting Age n = 18. n, number of effect sizes; df, degrees of freedom; E, energy. **** p < 0.0001
