PAC-QOL in adults with functional constipation. PAC-QOL (Patient Assessment of Constipation-Quality of Life) estimates from random-effects meta-analysis. The mean and 95% confidence interval are plotted for each study. The pooled estimate is represented by the diamond apex (1.97) and the 95% confidence interval is represented by the diamond width (1.70-2.24). Publication bias: Egger P = .28. Heterogeneity: I2 = 98%, P < .001.
