Fig.Ā 3From: An approach to exploring patterns of imbalance and potential missingness in reports of the randomized baseline values for primary outcomes measurable at baseline in randomized controlled trials for meta-analysesResults of baseline differences after randomization for the primary outcome in each meta-analysis. The median baseline values obtained from 6 trials were not included in the analysis. P-value was produced by one-proportion z-test. RCT, randomized controlled trial; SMD, standardized mean difference; CI, confidence intervalBack to article page
