FIGURE 5.
Forest plot to study the effect of PE on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). PE improved LVEF in MIRI animals compared to control group (SMD = 2.54, 95% CI: 2.04 to 3.03, p < 0.001). The dark squares represent the standardized mean difference (SMD) for each study. The diamonds represent the pooled SMD. 95% of the CIs are indicated by lines. The analysis was conducted using a fixed-effects model.
