Note: Bolded text indicates the effect size or Q statistic was significant at the p < .05 level.

+

Indicates the Egger’s test analyses were significant for the effect size. Adjusted values were calculated for any effect size in which the trim and fill analyses indicated significant publication bias. Adjusted values indicate the effect size when the trim and fill procedures are applied.
