Forest plot

[Bishwa Bhattarai]

How can I present risk ratios obtained for 5 different patient characteristics in a single forest plot? I am using Stata 18 for the meta-analysis.

Sorry, could you clarify a little more: do you mean 5 different outcomes, or interventions, prognostic factors/covariates, or something else? Are the different results taken from different models, or are they multiple covariates from a common model?

I have risk ratios for 5 prognostic factors- the clinical appearance of the lesion of interest, the area of the lesion, the largest length of the lesion, surgical margin, and the site of the lesion. Each of the outcomes is from a different set of studies.
For example, data from studies a,b,c,d, and e are used to obtain the risk ratio for the surgical margin, and data from studies a,e,f,g, and h are used for obtaining the risk ratio for the site of the lesion.
