q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r1

Random-effects meta-analysis of two studies [22, 24] assessing satisfaction; Figure 8 shows the difference favouring the TT group. One study by Ji et al. reported a negative change in the mean difference score of satisfaction level.

"the overall mean difference in the satisfaction level score showed a negative difference of -0.14 with a minimum and maximum of -0.36 and 0.08, respectively."
