Figure 6 is a forest plot. Standardized mean differences were reported or calculated for three short-term studies, with a pooled standardized mean difference of −0.24 (95% confidence interval −0.38 to −0.04) and an overall I-squared value of 0%. Standardized mean differences were reported or calculated for three intermediate-term studies, with a pooled standardized mean difference of −0.24 (95% confidence interval −0.38 to −0.10) and an overall I-squared value of 0%. Standardized mean differences were reported or calculated for three long-term studies, with a pooled standardized mean difference of −0.28 (95% confidence interval −0.43 to −0.13) and an overall I-squared value of 0%.
