    0.8 SMD 0.69, 95% CI −0.40 to 1.77; 80 participants; 2 studies; I² = 76%
    0.6 SMD 0.66, 95% CI −0.48 to 1.80; 80 participants; 2 studies; I² = 78%

SD: standard deviation

The correlation coefficients have been obtained from Meinzer 2016, which presented both total values and change scores for our secondary outcome naming performance in naming nouns.
