In the published article, there was an error. [the expression of 'begger's test' is an error].A correction has been made to [3. Results], [3.5. Sensitivity analysis and publication bias], [Paragraph 1]. This sentence previously stated: "[Sensitivity analyses indicated consistent results after the exclusion of each individual study (Supplementary Figures S9-S11). Neither Begger's test nor Egger's test revealed evidence of publication bias. For all-cause mortality of extremely high levels of HDL-C, Begger's test indicated P = 0.502, and Egger's test showed P = 0.693, as shown in Figures 4,5. For CVD death of extremely high levels of HDL-C, Begger's test indicated P = 0.304 and Egger's test showed P = 0.826, as shown in Figures 6,7. For the risk of stroke, Begger' s test indicated P = 0.308 and Egger' s test showed P = 0.666, as shown in Figures 8,9.]"The corrected sentence appears below: "[Sensitivity analyses indicated consistent results after the exclusion of each individual study (Supplementary Figures S9-S11). Neither Begg's test nor Egger's test revealed evidence of publication bias. For all-cause mortality of extremely high levels of HDL-C, Begg's test indicated P = 0.502, and Egger's test showed P = 0.693, as shown in Figures 4,5.
