Funnel plot asymmetry evaluation using the Egger’s test revealed significant asymmetry (t = 3.58; p -value < 0.002), indicating potential publication bias, while Begg’s test yielded a marginally non-significant result (z = 1.87; p -value > 0.06), suggesting weaker evidence against funnel plot symmetry (Funnel plot in Supplementary Figure S1A ).
