Outcome indicator Number of studies Sample size T/C MD/SMD 95% CI I2/% P value
Tumor weight (g) 22 191/189 MD =−0.94 −1.10, −0.79 98 <0.05
Tumor volume (cm3) 11 67/67 MD =−0.78 −1.06, −0.50 99 <0.05
Tumor number (pcs) 7 74/72 SMD =−3.27 −4.30, −2.23 73 <0.05

g, gram; cm3, cubic centimeter; pcs, pieces. T represents the intervention group, C represents the control group. MD, mean difference; SMD, standardized mean difference; CI, confidence interval.
