The standard deviation before surgery was not reported, but it was estimated according to the corresponding author's comment. For the estimation, assuming the same variance before and after the intervention, the standard deviation after the intervention was considered to be 11.5, as was estimate of the standard deviation before the intervention. Heterogeneity chi-squared = 3.35 (d.f. = 4), P = .502. I2 (variation [I-V] in ES attributable to heterogeneity) = 0.0%. Test of ES = 0: z = 35.51, P = .000. CI, confidence interval; ES, effect size; N/A, not applicable; df, degree of freedom.
