gillyflower, This is a case of" More is less". Your sentence has too many words which are not adding any significance but muddling up the meaning. Hi, Would you check the following sentence for errors please?

You lose me at "understanding". After a plain noun, "heterogeneity", the participle form is puzzling. Also, "effects of factors" is hollow, "effect size" is not instantly understandable, and "subgroup analyses" might be better spelled out as (if I understand it) "analyses were carried out upon several subgroups", because they are not analyses that are subgroup.
