The first two columns show the total number of treated units available for analysis and then the number remaining after matching. Columns three through five report the refinement method used for each model as well as the reduction of imbalance between a model without refinement and after refinement, with 0 representing optimal balance across all variables. Finally, column six reports the T+2 estimate, and column seven provides the 95% confidence intervals.
