N = sample size; r = effect size (Pearson’s r); CI = confidence interval [lower limit, upper limit]; % weight = relative weight; study removed = shows the overall mean weighted effect size r for all studies, except the study in each row; Fail-safe N = number of studies needed to nullify a significant effect; (a) = intercept value Egger test; rADJUSTED= adjusted estimate of effect (if publication bias is present) through an iterative statistical procedure to calculate a symmetrical funnel plot; * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01.
