Create high-resolution forest plots with a single click

A key element in any meta-analysis is the forest plot – a plot that shows the effect size and precision for each study and for the combined effect.  This plot puts a face on the analysis – it shows whether the combined effect is based on a few studies or many, whether the effect size is consistent or varies, and so on.  As such, the forest plot plays a central role in helping the researcher to understand the data, and also to convey the findings to others.

Most other meta-analysis programs use graphics engines that were developed for other purposes and push them into service for creating forest plots.  By contrast, the plotting engine in CMA was developed specifically for the purpose of meta-analysis.  It is very easy to use and provides a wide range of important options. 

Create a high-resolution plot in one click and then customize any element on the plot.  Select a symbol for studies, for subgroups, and for overall effect.  Optionally, specify that symbols should be proportional in size to study weights, so the studies that contribute the most to the combined effect are easy to spot. Set colors and fonts for each element on the graph, and then export to Word™ or PowerPoint™ in a single click!
