  1. 95% LL and UL stand for the 95% lower and upper limits for the summary effect; Z-value corresponding to the confidence limits of 95% tests the null hypothesis that the common true effect is zero; p – value tells us only that the effect may be or is probably not zero; Q stands for the Cochran’s Q test [34], that represents a measure of heterogeneity and is the sum of the squared deviation of each effect size from the mean, weighted by the inverse-variance for each study; I2 stand for the Higgin’s index, or the ratio of true heterogeneity to total observed variation [35].
