A few minor comments\r\n\r\n(2) It is interesting that our intervals are much smaller than those of the previous MAs. There can also be some other aspects despite hierchical shrinkage contributing to this: \r\n\r\n- Moddabernia is currently missing which caused a substantial amount of heterogeneity leading to larger CIs in previous MAs.\r\n- I currently apply an informative prior on tau (between study standard deviation) in form of a half normal prior HN(0, 0.25). This is required in my opinion because 7 or 8 studies are not enough to reasonable estimate tau. If I only used a very weakly informative prior, tau would be unrealistically large (simply because we don't have enough evidence in the data).\r\n\r\n\r\n(3) We have to make clear, that the SMCR as we currently use it contrasts pre-post changes in experimental and control group. Thus, it incroporates both within and between group differences. "}}
