Classic and Orwin’s Fail-Safe N outcomes.

Classic Fail-Safe N Method Orwin’s Fail-Safe N Method
Z-value for observed studies −99.866 The event rate is observed in studies 0.289
The P-value for observed studies 0.000 The criterion for a "trivial" event rate 0.500
Alpha 0.050 Mean event rate in missing studies 0.500
Tails 2.000
Z for alphas 1.959
Number of observed studies 64.000
Number of missing studies that would bring the P-value to > alpha (N value) 6095.000
