Although the majority of the findings in these included studies did not reach statistical significance, the overall efficacy assessment indicated that SLIT demonstrated effectiveness in pediatric AR patients (SS: SMD=-0.52, 95%CI=-0.75~-0.29, p = 3.17e-10, I2=0%, Egger’s test: p = 0.74; MS: SMD=-0.24, 95%CI=-0.37~-0.11, p = 0.0356, I2=78.68%, Egger’s test: p = 0.34) ( Figure 6 ).
