Max d, maximum effect size; Mean dw, mean weighted effect size; Min d, minimum effect size; N, number of studies contributing to the effect size; Nfs, fail safe N; SD dw, SD of weighted effect size; %OL, per cent overlap between Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia groups; VOSP, Visual Object and Space Perception Battery; 95% CI, 95% CI for means.
*Effect sizes weighted by the inverse variance.
