Finally, both the meta-analyses we conducted and the percentages reported in individual studies on topics we did not meta-analyse, show that different topics follow different patterns, i.e., one topic being addressed in ItAs does not mean another one will be addressed too, nor that its covera...

Furthermore, considering that most of the participants in these included studies had unipolar depression, the discussion of this study focused on patients with...

The between-group heterogeneity (Qb) of effect sizes was estimated using the Q-statistic in MetaWin 2.1 (Supplementary Table5)64. Stepwise linear regression was used to analyse the impacts of environmental conditions on the responses of root:shoot ratio [RR(R/S), Supplementary Table4]. We used...
