<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear Wolfgang and All,</div><div><br></div><div>I conducted a multilevel mixed-effects meta-analysis and found differences between levels of two moderators. I was expecting to find non-overlapped confidence intervals. 
However, I obtained overlapped confidence intervals for all subgroups. 
How can I interpret these results? In such situation, should I trust in the Q-test or in the CIs? I controlled for phylogenetic non-independence. Is there a chance of this approach affect the estimation of CIs using predict function? My dataset and script are attached.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Best wishes,<br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>_______________________________________________________</div><div><br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><font size="2"><b>Prof. Dr. Rafael Rios Moura</b>
