Dear Hyungwon, dear All,

Data is on log scale.
I've checked other two studies which I'm going to merge to metaanalysis
and variances' ranges are similar.

study 2
Min.        1st Qu.       Median       Mean      3rd Qu.       Max.
0.002281   0.106800      0.309800    0.783000   0.896700      19.610000

study 3
Min.        1st Qu.       Median       Mean      3rd Qu.       Max.
0.000472   0.047810      0.120300     0.344400  0.307800      20.290000

So what is minimal variance which don't cause the error?

Thank You,
Best Wishes
