What Is a Forest Plot?
Based on statistical indicators and statistical analysis methods, the graphs are drawn using numerical calculation results. In the plane rectangular coordinate system, with a vertical invalid line (abscissa scale 1 or 0) as the center, it uses multiple line segments parallel to the horizontal axis to describe the effect amount and confidence interval of each study ( confidence interval (CI), using a prism (or other graph) to describe the combined effect amount and confidence interval of multiple studies. It describes the statistical results of meta analysis very simply and intuitively. It is the most commonly used form of result expression in meta analysis.
