Hello,
I recently got a meta-analysis accepted however the journal gave me a detailed technical review that I need to do before they send it to print. Much of this technical review has to do with formatting of the forest plot.
Currently my code looks like:
And I get a forest plot that looks like this:
There are multiple questions in their technical review that are fairly detailed that I have no idea how to do and after looking online for answers am still clueless
(Documents I have looked at: 1) http://www.biostat.jhsph.edu/~fdomin...a.analysis.pdf 2) http://www.stata-journal.com/sjpdf.h...clenum=sbe24_2 3) http://csm.lshtm.ac.uk/files/2011/02...29-11-2012.pdf 4) http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc...=rep1&type=pdf)
I was wondering if someone familiar with metan is able to help me with some of these questions since there does not seem to be anything available (that I can find at least) online.
Here are a few of the questions that I am stuck on:
1) Each column heading should be individually underlined; remove the solid line that runs the width of the figure below the column headings
2) In the ES (95% CI) column, be sure ES values are aligned on the decimal point. Then align on the space between the ES value and the ( and again on the decimal point and the space between the CI values.
3) In the Overall row in teh first column, format I and P in uppercase italics. Format as I2 rather than I-squared.
4) Add .0 as needed to values on the x axis so that all values have the same number of decimal places (e.g., 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, etc).
5) Remove the "Note" from the first column and explain in the legend instead.
6) Remove the blue box from the plot area.
If there is any way someone can help me it would be greatly appreciated. If there is documentation somewhere that I am missing and it would be easier to direct me to this document that would be very helpful as well. I know this is asking for a lot of help but I am not sure what else to do. If it is more helpful I can also upload my dataset.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Best,
Leo
