  1. This table shows estimation results of meta-regression analysis using estimates of the gender dummy variable reported in 53 research works listed in Additional file 1: Table S1 and Additional file 2: Bibliography of studies subject to meta-analysis as the dependent variable. See Table 1 for the descriptive statistics of the estimates. See Table 3 for the definitions and descriptive statistics of meta-independent variables. Figures in parentheses beneath the regression coefficients are robust standard errors
  2. ***, **, and * denote statistical significance at the 1%, 5%, and 10% levels, respectively
