Figure 49 is a forest plot. Mean difference was reported or calculated for one short-term study (−1.00, 95% confidence interval −1.29 to −0.71). Mean differences were reported or calculated for two intermediate-term studies, with a pooled mean difference of −0.26 (95% confidence interval −2.06 to 1.56) and an overall I-squared value of 96.2%. Mean difference was reported or calculated for one long-term study (0.10, 95% confidence interval −0.16 to 0.36).
