nominally significantP = 0.02
For multiple pregnancy rate ( Supplementary Table S4 ), while the pooled estimate was nominally significant (OR = 1.26, 95% CI: 1.03-1.55, P = 0.02), exclusion of three studies (Liang, Mao, and Wang) rendered the association non-significant, with 95% CIs crossing the null in all three scenarios; the effect, while directionally consistent, is statistically fragile and dependent on a subset of studies, with persistent high heterogeneity (I2 range: 61.42%-78.35%) further limiting confidence.
