Statistical tests for publication bias for the meta-analyses of glucose, insulin, and TAG levels: physical activity breaks vs sitting, physical activity breaks vs continuous exercise

Metabolic variable	Rosenthal’s fail-safe N	Begg and Mazumdar (p value)	Egger (t value, p value)	SMD, assuming severe 2-tailed selection bias
Glucose, breaks vs sitting	1358	0.09	− 1.25, 0.22	− 0.41
Insulin, breaks vs sitting	907	0.03	− 0.80, 0.43	− 0.43
TAG, breaks vs sitting	87	0.005	− 2.09, 0.05	− 0.20
