             meta-analysis as i2 = 100%×(q - df)/q, where q is cochran's heterogeneity statistic
             and df the degrees of freedom. Negative values of i2 are put equal to zero so that
             i2 lies between 0% and 100%. A value of 0% indicates no observed heterogeneity,
             and larger values show increasing heterogeneity. Unlike cochran's q, it does not
             inherently depend upon the number of studies considered. A confidence interval
             for i² is constructed using either i) the iterative non-central chi-squared distribution
             method of hedges and piggott (2001); or ii) the test-based method of higgins and
             thompson (2002). The non-central chi-square method is currently the method of choice
             (higgins, personal communication, 2006) – it is computed if the 'exact' option
             is selected.</td>
