The abstract and the “Study population,” “Sensitivity analyses using all 62 eligible studies” and “Assessment of publication bias” sections of the Results have been amended.

The results of the metadata analysis remain unchanged. Updates have now been made in the HTML and PDF versions of the full text, Extended Data Figures 2, 4 and 5 and the Supplementary Information.
