We performed meta-regression analyses using restricted cubic splines for data from studies with LSD doses of up to 200 μg base. The psychometric data comprised ratings of subjective effects from standardized and validated questionnaires: the Altered States of Consciousness Rating Scale (5D-ASC, 11-ASC) and the Mystical Experience Questionnaire (MEQ30). Data extracted from articles identified by a systematic literature review following PRISMA guidelines were obtained from the Altered States Database.
