Brain Network Organization in Focal Epilepsy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Figure 4
Meta-analysis of the average clustering coefficient.
The forest plot displays the standardized mean differences (SMD) of the average clustering coefficient between focal epilepsy patients and controls with the 95% confidence intervals (CI). No difference is specified with a vertical line at 0. The overall pooled SMD was 0.35 (CI: 0.05 to 0.65, p = 0.02), that is, a significant higher average clustering coefficient was observed in whole brain networks of focal epilepsy patients relative to controls.
