Forest Plot from Scientific Research

Significant species (Hedges’ model effect size P < 0.01, none presented q < 0.1) found in association either with earlier or later stages in meta-analysis considering the following comparisons (all presented I 2 < 50%). Stages 0III versus stage IV. The shape of each point indicates the dataset-specific effect size for each species, and the blue diamonds indicate Hedges’ model effect size on SMD. P values were computed via two-tailed t-test. SMD values were corrected for age, sex and BMI and indicated by a star (blue if P < 0.01). Oral SGBs are highlighted in bold. g, group.
