Figure S13. Random effects meta-analysis with GMK exclusions. Our main exclusion analyses already exclude all studies where the GMK team believes there are major data issues. This analysis corresponds with GMK's recommendation for meta analysis as of Oct 26, 2021. GMK excludes most non-RCT studies, with the notable exception of several studies with major issues that report negative or relatively poor results — Szente Fonseca which is likely affected by multicollinearity among treatments, Elavarasi which reports unadjusted results with no group details and is subject to confounding by indication, and Soto-Becerra which has several major issues described in the details.
