For ROM, the Asian subgroup (1 study with 2 comparisons) showed no significant improvement (SMD = 0.01, 95% CI: −0.50 to 0.51; p = 0.98), and the non-Asian subgroup (2 studies with 3 comparisons) showed a trend toward improvement (SMD = 0.40, 95% CI: −0.10 to 0.89; p = 0.12), both with no heterogeneity (I 2 = 0%), identical to the overall ROM meta-analysis (I 2 = 0%).
