Figure 1

Forest plot of WMD with 95% CI on LVEF demonstrated favorable LVEF outcomes within the BMSC group compared with the placebo group. The size of data markers represents the statistical weight of each included study before it was pooled to the overall effect. (a) Trials in short term followup: heterogeneity: , df = 12, , and (variation in WMD attributable to heterogeneity) = 77.6%. (b) Trials in long term followup: heterogeneity: , , , and (variation in WMD attributable to heterogeneity) = 90.6%.
