As someone who does a lot of meta-analyses I'd prefer you left in non-significant values as well, if they bear on the hypotheses at hand. Aggregating over nonsignificant effect sizes can still result in an overall effect that is significant.

This. A dozen "non-significant" studies that all have effects in the same magnitude and direction are telling you something.
