In the original publication of this article [1] there was an error in the results section of the article.

The result section showed the following:

  • The total results based on all eight studies (OR 2.62, 95% CI 1.84–3.73, P < 0.05) were statistically significant (Fig. 1)

However, the correct information is:

  • The total results based on all eight studies (OR 2.57, 95% CI 1.78–3.71, P < 0.05) were statistically significant (Fig. 1)

The updated information is shown in bold. The correct information is already available in Fig. 1 of the original publication.
