  1. SMD standardized mean difference, CI confidence interval;
  2. SMD (95%CI) random-effects model was used when P value for heterogeneity test ≤0.10 (Total, Undergraduate students, Medical college students, Male+Female); otherwise, fix-effects model was used (Female);
  3. Meta regression P value, represents the test for the significance of the effect modification across strata
