Columns 2 and 3 provide the number of CFP/non-CFP forest plots and average SMD of confounders before and after matches. Columns 4, 5, 6 and 7 present the ATTB, lower and upper confidence levels of ATTB and p-values. Columns 8 provide information about the sensitivities of estimated results to unobserved confounders and the p-values.
