Funnel plot with solid circles representing actual included studies with their respective study weight (%). The Trim-and-Fill method suggested that only one missing study was needed to achieve a symmetrical funnel plot, as indicated by the open circle. The solid vertical line represents the unadjusted odds ratio (OR) for short-term mortality, and the dotted line indicates the recalculated adjusted
OR after allowing for publication bias. SE, standard error.
