Statistical tests for publication bias for the meta-analyses of glucose, insulin, and TAG levels, physical activity breaks vs sitting
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 continuous | 12 | 0.27 | 1.61, 0.13 | − 0.17 |
Insulin, breaks vs continuous | 0 | 0.00009 | 1.06, 0.32 | 0.14 |
TAG, breaks vs continuous | 0 | 1.0000 | − 1.35, 0.21 | 0.02 |
