1
Publication bias was detected by the funnel plot method using Egger's test.
2
The funnel plot for the primary endpoint suggested a relevant publication bias.
3
Potential publication bias was assessed by visual inspection of funnel plot.
4
The publication bias was evaluated by funnel plot and Egger's test.
5
No publication bias relating to the above outcomes was detected by funnel plot.
6
A funnel plot is a clever way of graphing this.
7
The funnel plot of precision demonstrated no important publication bias.
8
The publication bias was estimated using the funnel plot.
9
Publication bias was assessed graphically using a funnel plot.
10
Begg's funnel plot and Egger's test were applied to inspect potential publication bias among the included studies.
11
We used I to assess heterogeneity, and a funnel plot and Egger test to assess publication bias.
12
The presence of publication bias between studies was evaluated using the Begg's and Egger's tests and funnel plot.
13
Publication bias will be assessed by funnel plot using the STATA software v.13.1.
14
Meta-analysis was performed using the Mantel-Haenszel method, and potential publication bias was evaluated with a funnel plot of precision.
15
We investigated the possibility of publication bias through a funnel plot and identified the heterogeneity by I(2) statistics.
16
A funnel plot was created to assess publication bias, and 2 forms of sensitivity analyses were performed for each outcome.
