Figure 47 is a forest plot. Mean differences were reported or calculated for five short-term studies, with a pooled mean difference of −0.62 (95% confidence interval −1.02 to −0.20) and an overall I-squared value of 0%. Mean differences were reported or calculated for seven intermediate-term studies, with a pooled mean difference of −0.62 (95% confidence interval −1.14 to −0.09) and an overall I-squared value of 65.7%. Mean differences were reported or calculated for two long-term studies, with a pooled mean difference of 0.04 (95% confidence interval −0.89 to 0.98) and an overall I-squared value of 0%.
