  2. aFor studies not reporting pooled estimates for the sample mean and sample standard deviation, the respective values were calculated using the sample sizes (n1, n2), means (m1, m2) and standard deviations (sd1, sd2) reported for the individual groups. The according equations are pooled mean = (m1*n1 + m2*n2)/(n1 + n2) and pooled sample standard deviation = sqrt [(n1-1)*sd1^2 + (n2-1)*sd2^2 + n1*(m1-m)^2 + n2*(m2-m)^2) / (n1 + n2-1)]
