... Although some commonly used meta-analytic methods (e.g., weighting study-level effect size estimates by the inverse of their variance, using trim-and-fill analyses to estimate the impact of publication bias) can address some of the limitations of small sample studies particularly when sufficient primary studies are included, meta-analytic inferences based on such data are not immune from small sample biases and may therefore lead to erroneous conclusions (Lin, 2018;Simonsohn et al., 2022). While a couple of well-powered studies on mediators in MBIs have been conducted (e.g., Dimidjian et al., 2023), the field of MBI research has produced little strong evidence of statistical mediation and as a consequence, a dearth of knowledge to advance research toward a causal understanding of MBI effects. ...

... Secondly, reactive oxygen species generated by an influx of cytosolic calcium during warm and cold ischemic times in response to ATP generation creates a cycle of inflammatory changes and eventual endothelial damage, which leads to more inflammation from increased capillary permeability and cytokine release, ultimately leading to cell death in the donor allograft (6,7). Furthermore, the milieu of donor and recipient risk factors, which we will discuss in this article, are also key in the pathophysiology of PGD (8,9). Importantly, PGD is strongly associated with the development of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), which is the primary cause of long-term morbidity and mortality after LTx (10,11). ...

... However, 25 recipients were excluded of analysis of donor's BMI, as this data was not available. Median BMI in the all cohort was 24 [21][22][23][24][25][26][27] Kg/m 2 for the recipients, and 24 [21][22][23][24][25][26][27] Kg/m 2 for donors. Median weight of recipients was 70[58-80] Kg. 41 (13%) recipients were underweighted, 130 (43%) recipients had a normal pretransplantation BMI, and 133 (44%) recipients were overweighted or obese (36 (12%) obese recipients, including 35 class I obesity (BMI 30-34.9 ...

... Consistent with our previous analyses using these data (Jones et al., 2022(Jones et al., , 2024Young et al., 2021), we included adolescent age, ethnicity, and lifetime depression diagnosis as covariates in all models. These covariates are time-invariant; therefore, they were included in our level 2 models as covariates for the subject-specific intercept as outcome, the subject-specific active phase slope as outcome, and the subject-specific follow-up phase slope as outcome. ...

... have demonstrated heightened expression of proinflammatory cytokines in endotoxin-stimulated human whole blood and peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained from women with pelvic pain (Evans et al., 2020;Schrepf et al., 2023). Additionally, a recent study conducted by our team revealed altered temperature and metabolic responses in response to in vivo endotoxin administration in women with FM (Mueller et al., 2023). ...
