Forest Plots

Description

Function to create forest plots.

Usage

forest(x, ...)

Arguments

x

either an object of class "rma", a vector with the observed effect sizes or outcomes, or an object of class "cumul.rma". See ‘Details’.

...

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.
