Publication Bias
We performed Begg’s funnel plot and Egger’s test to detect the
publication bias of literatures. No significant evidence of publication
bias for LVEF decline and CHF was detected by using funnel plots
(supplemental figure 1 for LVEF decline; and supplemental figure 2 for
CHF), Begg’s test (LVEF decline, p =0.62; CHF, p =0.53) and
Egger’s test (LVEF decline, p =0.38; CHF, p =0.93).
