This field includes the study identifier of each of the the 3 primary studies which reported results per document.
This identifies the type of effect size used by the study authors. d or g refer to d_IG and g_IG, P is the aggregated p values, if the repeated measures (RM) estimate was obtained it is appropriately specified.
Always set to Rep. This identifies that the data was as reported by the primary study authors.
The overall mean effect size reported by the study authors
The one-sided p-value associated with the overall mean reported by the study authors. NA means the authors did not report this statistic.
The upper bound of the confidence interval of the overall mean as reported by the primary study authors. NA means the authors did not report this statistic.
The lower bound of the confidence interval of the overall mean as reported by the primary study authors. NA means the authors did not report this statistic.
The heterogeneity statistic associated with the meta-analysis as reported by the study authors. NA means the authors did not report this statistic.
