Figure 43 is a forest plot. Standardized mean differences were reported or calculated for three short-term studies, with a pooled standardized mean difference of −0.30 (95% confidence interval −0.70 to −0.02) and an overall I-squared value of 0%. Standardized mean differences were reported or calculated for two intermediate-term studies, with a pooled standardized mean difference of −0.14 (95% confidence interval −0.40 to 0.12) and an overall I-squared value of 0%. Standardized mean differences was reported or calculated for one long-term study (−0.25, 95% confidence interval −0.62 to 0.11).
