Overall effect line

[Heba Alwan]

Hello.

I am using admetan to create a forest plot from IPD data. Stata automatically puts a dashed line for the overall effect size but I would like to remove it. Can you please tell me how, I have been unable to do it myself, even after reading.

Here is the command I am using:
admetan logor selogor, study(Study) re(reml,hksj) or rfdist forestplot(xlabel(0.0625 0.125 0.25 0.5 4 8 12 16) favours(Decreased risk of DM # Increased risk of DM))

Thank you very much!

Sorry for the late reply! Firstly, note that admetan is no longer supported, and has been superseded by a newly-updated version of metan (latest version 4.05 29nov2021, from SSC). Using this package, the solution is:

metan logor selogor, study(Study) re(reml,hksj) or rfdist forestplot(xlabel(0.0625 0.125 0.25 0.5 4 8 12 16) favours(Decreased risk of DM # Increased risk of DM) olineopts(lcolor(none)))

Best wishes,
David.
