Display narrow studies with narrow confidence interval in Forest plot (meta-analysis).

[saeed Hosseini teshnizi]

I have 28 studies and which of them have wide confidence interval(1.2-98) so that it is not let to line of other studies to show. I used command such as xlabel(0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5 , 1, 5 ,10 ,100) but it is not usefulness. please guide me

I have some studies in meta-analysis and which of them have wide confidence interval(1.1-95.30) so that it is not let to line of other studies to show. I used command such as xlabel(0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5 , 1, 5 ,10 ,100) but it is not usefulness. please guide me

Hi Saeed,

Assuming you're using the metan command, there is an option force which forces the x-axis scale to be in the range specified by xlabel(). Studies with confidence intervals wider than the limits given in xlabel() will be truncated, with the truncation represented by arrows.

David.
