Pairwise comparisons of the between-study variance estimates (\({\widehat{\tau }}^{2}\)) yielded by combinations of ITS analysis methods and between-study variance estimators. The between-study variance estimate yielded by the row method (y-axis) versus the between-study variance estimate yielded by the column method (x-axis), for the level-change (top triangle) and slope-change per month (bottom triangle) meta-analyses.
