q4 i? After removing four potential-outlier effect sizes, the adjusted pooled estimate (r = −0.123) was largely consistent with the unadjusted one, and funnel-plot and 3PSM checks found no publication bias. → Paterna 2024

q4 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3

Sensitivity analysis using GOSH-plot influence analyses identified four outlier studies (Bai et al., 2020; Domoff et al., 2020; Zhou, Liu, Wang, et al., 2022; Zhou, Liu, Ye, et al., 2022); the adjusted random-effects model is reported here. Publication bias checks: "The results of 3PSM did not suggest the presence of publication bias [χ2(1) = 0.034, p = 0.854]."

"the result from the adjusted model (r = −0.123, p < 0.001; 95% CI = −0.164 to −0.081; I2 = 83.50) was found to be largely consistent with the non-adjusted one (r = −0.110, p < 0.001; 95% CI = −0.156 to −0.066, I2 = 93.70)."
