"After merging citations and eliminating duplications manually, two reviewers screened titles and abstracts independently to obtain eligible articles. Studies potentially containing relevant data were retained initially. A third author joined to make a consensus when disagreement occurred. The study was registered in PROSPERO to further enhance the transparency and to better explain issues arising during research. The register number was CRD42023394503. Methods: Literatures were searched in PubMed, Cochrane library, Embase, and Web of science before March 11, 2023. Trial sequential analysis (TSA) was performed to test the conclusiveness of this meta-analysis. Egger’s test and trim-and-fill analysis was used to test publication bias. We took standardized mean difference (SMD) as pool effect of hormones values including prolactin (PRL), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P). This study was registered in PROSPERO and the number was CRD42023394503."
