Synthesis of correlation coefficients. Forest plots are presented for correlation coefficients between hGCs and GC in (A) blood, (B) saliva, (C) urine, and (D) feces. Where multiple coefficients were reported in the same study (grey markers) these were weighted accordingly, to avoid biasing the random effects model. The summary estimate correlation coefficients are reported with 95% CI.
