None of the Egger tests for the 11 vaccinations showed significant evidence of funnel plot asymmetry, which would be indicative of publication bias.
Finally and fundamentally, whether the number of authors and the date of publication are truly indicative of publication quality remains open to speculation.
The funnel plot produced was indicative of publication bias (as shown in figure 3) and thus further explored using Egger's test, which confirmed statistically significant funnel plot asymmetry (p=0.005).
