  1. K included studies numbers,
  2. N included samples numbers
  3. I2 Statistic refereed to the percentage of variation across samples due to heterogeneity rather than chance
  4. Ï„2 Describe the extent of variation among the effects observed in different samples (between-sample variance)
  5. H Describe confidence intervals of heterogeneity
  6. dSignificant differences between samples in meta-analysis
  7. eDetects publication bias in meta-analysis
  8. fRepresent the correlation between effect sizes and sample variation
