Figure 3

Within-group meta-analytic overall effect sizes (Cohen’s d)±standard errors for laterality indices (LIs) of subcortical regional volumes in healthy controls (white bars) and in patients with schizophrenia (gray bars). An LI was defined as the ratio [(left−right)/(left+right)]. In each group, mean LIs and their standard errors were entered into the meta-analysis and an overall mean was obtained. The corresponding forest plots are described in Supplementary Figures 4a–h and 5a–h. An overall effect size for LIs was calculated as the ratio of the overall mean LIs to the overall standard deviation. A positive effect size demonstrates a leftward asymmetry. accumb, accumbens; amyg, amygdala; caud, caudate; hippo, hippocampus; LatVent, lateral ventricle; pal, pallidum; put, putamen; thal, thalamus.
