Table 4 Summary of meta-regression findings for hypotension outcome, showing direction and approximate trend of associations between covariates (propofol dosage, mean age, and ketamine dosage) and log risk ratio
| Covariate (moderator) | Direction of association | Approximate trend |
| Propofol dosage difference (msg) | Positive | Each 50 mg increase in propofol appeared to increase LogRR by approximately 0.05-0.10 |
| Mean age (years) | Slighty negative | Each approximately 10 years increase in mean age appeared to decrease LogRR by approximately 0.01 (very weak) |
| Ketamine dosage difference | Negative | Each 50 mg increase in ketamine appeared to decrease LogRR by approximately 0.05-0.08 |
