Estimates and confidence intervals (CIs) for the heterogeneity parameter τ2, for the overall log-odds-ratio (LOR) and for the overall odds ratios (OR); GLMM is the generalized linear mixed model, REM is the random-effects model and FEM is the fixed-effect model. L and U are the lower and upper limits of the respective 95% confidence intervals
