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 ATTC, lower and upper confidence levels of ATTC and p-values. Column 8 provides information about the sensitivities of estimated results to unobserved confounders and the p-values.
