Metaregression of Fisher’s Z-transformed kappa coefficients on predictor variables.

Independent variable	B	SEb
Distance from PTS origin	0.0005	0.00002	<0.001
Distance from ESI origin	0.0000	0.00003	<0.001
Distance from CTAS origin	0.0005	0.00003	<0.002
Publication year for PTSs	0.06	0.003	<0.001

SEb = standard error. Only studies that used weighted kappa coefficients were included. Only studies that used unweighted kappa coefficients were included.
