6 Fig 5 Meta-analysis of cohort studies. In the study by Murray2 the denominator for treatment and control groups is 47 and 45, respectively, because three patients in the control group and four patients in the treatment group did not awake after surgery, and therefore neurologic assessment could not be performed.
