other arguments.

Details

Currently, methods exist for three types of situations.

In the first case, object x is a fitted model object coming from the rma.uni, rma.mh, or rma.peto functions. The corresponding method is then forest.rma.

Alternatively, object x can be a vector with observed effect sizes or outcomes. The corresponding method is then forest.default.

Finally, object x can be an object coming from the cumul.rma.uni, cumul.rma.mh, or cumul.rma.peto functions. The corresponding method is then forest.cumul.rma.
