Table 3.

Statistical power and sensitivity for regulation success and clinical measures excluding the pilot, proof-of-principle, and feasibility studies. The mean and median values of statistical power and sensitivity are presented, but only for studies that were not labeled as pilot, feasibility, or proof-of-principle. Power is estimated (in percentage) for small, medium, and large effects (based on Cohen’s d of 0.2, 0.5, and 0.8, respectively). Sensitivity, or estimation of detected effect size (based on Cohen’s d) with a certain power, is calculated for the power of 80 and 95%. Power and sensitivity calculations for regulation success include studies reporting a group analysis; clinical measures include power and sensitivity estimation for studies performing a group analysis of clinical measures. For additional information, including individual values for each study, see the Supplementary materials.
