Table 2 Meta regression random-effects model: test of the model

From: Effects of Tai Chi and Qigong on cognitive and physical functions in older adults: systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression of randomized clinical trials

Simultabneous test that all coefiicients (excluding intercept) are zero

Qmodel = 9.06, df = 1, p = 0.0026

Goodness of fit: Test that unexplained variance is zero

T2 = 0.0208, Tau = 0.1442, I2 = 38.56%, Qresid = 30.766, df = 16, p = 0.0534

Proportion of total between-study variance explained by the model

R2 = T2explained/T2total = 0.0352/0.0560 = 0.63
