In total, 164 patients treated with less than 5% minoxidil were included in the metaanalysis. For the group of patients using minoxidil at a concentration lower than 5%, the response rate was 58% (95% Cl 0.5–0.67), and the prediction interval for the vari
Figure 4. In total, 164 patients treated with less than 5% minoxidil were included in the metaanalysis. For the group of patients using minoxidil at a concentration lower than 5%, the response rate was 58% (95% Cl 0.5–0.67), and the prediction interval for the variable effect was 0.4–0.76 (Figure 4). After including all studies, the assumption of heterogeneity is met: the Q statistic is 6.27 with a p-value of 0.28. The H2 coefficient is 1.24 (95% CI 0.55–2.85), which indicates low heterogeneity among the studies. The I2 is 20.29% (95% CI 0–64.89%). The Egger’s coefficient (b) is 1.21, with a p-value of 0.66. This indicates that the studies are symmetric (no evidence of bias) (Figure 5).
