Description

This function creates forest plots from meta-analysis data.

Usage

forestplot(estimate, se, labels = paste("Study", c(1:length(estimate))),
  CI = 0.95, xexp = FALSE, xlab = expression(beta), ylab = "", ...)

Arguments

estimate	Vector of effect estimates
se	Vector of standard errors
labels	Vector of labels for the individual studies (default: Study 1, Study 2, etc.)
CI	Confidence interval (default: 0.95)
xexp	Whether the effect values are to be depicted on an exponential scale (default: FALSE)
xlab	Label for the horizontal axis (default: β)
ylab	Label for the horizontal axis (default: empty)
...	Arguments passed to the plot function, e.g. main="My plot"
