Following publication of this article [1], errors were identified in Fig 1, Table 1, and the Methods section. Specifically,

  • The ‘Records excluded’ box of Fig 1 incorrectly shows ‘n = 1839’; the correct value is ‘n = 1883’.
  • The publication year of the ‘Lin (2016)’ citation in the bottom row of Table 1 is incorrect; the correct citation is ‘Lin (2015)’.
  • There is an error in the third sentence of the Data extraction subsection of the Methods section. The correct sentence is: Data extraction was performed by four independent investigators with a predefined information sheet (Gaowei Fan, Kuo Zhang, Xin Yang, Jiansheng Ding).

Corrected versions of Fig 1 and Table 1 are provided with this notice.
