Note that in order to simplify the analysis for some studies, we performed the analysis for a different statistical test than originally reported, did not take into account correction for multiple comparisons, and assumed no sphericity violation and a high correlation among repeated measures for ANOVAs. Overall, these measures should have led to an overestimation of the statistical power/sensitivity of the studies.
