Forest plots depicting the sensitivity analysis in (a) cohort, (b) cross-sectional, and (c) case-control studies. Summary estimates were calculated using a random effects model and by omitting one study at a time. Odds ratio (OR) is illustrated as a vertical line. The 95% confidence interval (CI) is illustrated as a line on both sides of the OR. The heterogeneity test was completed to test for any difference between studies. A value <0.05 was defined as statistically significant.
