Table II.

Results as Published vs. DL (1986) vs. SGS (2012). Entries in columns 3–5 are Point Estimate of Relative Risk (95% CI) {2-sided P-value}; cc=continuity corrections for zero-event cells; DL is calculated from Comprehensive Meta-Analysis version 2.0 and also employs standard continuity corrections for zero-event cells.
