Notes: statistically significant (P<0.05); P : P value of Q test for heterogeneity test; I2: 0%–25% means no heterogeneity, 25%–50% means modest heterogeneity, and 50% means high heterogeneity. Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio; PCR-RFLP, polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism.
