Effect size is calculated as Standardized Mean Difference (SMD), with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI) in a random effects model. PND postnatal day, DEX dexamethasone, HCS hydrocortisone, CON control, F female, M male, NORM normoxia, BLEO bleomycin, BMS betamethasone, HYP hyperoxia, VEH vehicle, MPS methylprednisolone. CHRONO, DOSE, ROUTE, DURATION, and MORPHO: different experimental protocols. FVB, ICR, and NIH: different mouse strains.
