  Figure 1. A flow diagram of the included studies. The literature search yielded 1471 articles through searches of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library databases. After searching for compliance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria, six articles were selected for this final meta‐analysis

  Figure 2. Forrest plot demonstrating changes in LVEF improvement (A), changes in QRSd narrowing (B), and pacing threshold (C) between BVP, HBP, and LBBAP. Square data markers represented the MDs of the different outcomes. The horizontal lines represented the 95% CIs. BVP, biventricular pacing; CIs, confidence intervals; HBP, His bundle pacing; LBBAP, left bundle branch area pacing; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; MDs, mean differences; QRSd, QRS duration

  Figure 3. League table (MD [95% CI]) of changes in LVEF improvement (A), changes in QRSd narrowing (B), and pacing threshold (C) between BVP, HBP, and LBBAP. Significant differences were highlighted by bold type. Abbreviations were as in Figure 2

• 

  Figure 4. The SUCRA represented the overall ranking effect of changes in LVEF improvement (A), changes in QRSd narrowing (B), and pacing thresholds (C) between BVP, HBP, and LBBAP. A large SUCRA value corresponds to a high probability of the interest endpoint event. SUCRA, surface under the cumulative ranking area. Other abbreviations were as in Figure 2
