Dots represent point estimates of each study mean (or ES); sizes of the gray boxes reflect the weights of the studies in the meta-analysis. Bars are 95% CI. The diamond shows the weighted estimate for the mean preseason K-D baseline score; this is determined from fixed-effects models account for study N and precision (narrowness of 95% CI). I2 statistic values were 0.0%; p = 0.85; indicating very little heterogeneity between studies in calculation of the weighted estimate. Stated differently, the nonsignificance of the I2 test for heterogeneity suggests that the differences between the studies are explicable by random variation rather than systematic factors.
ES: Effect size; K-D: King-Devick.
