^bIntervals (ranges) are expressed in ISO 31–11 form. The form [a,b] expresses the interval a ≤ x ≤ b. For example, [1.60,1.65] is used to represent a 95% confidence interval that ranges between 1.60 and 1.65
^cCalculated using inverse variance-weighted average fixed effects (Cochran) meta-analysis
