Forest Plots using either Fixed- or Random-Effects Pooled ORs and CIs

Description

catmap.forest creates forest plots of the individual study ORs and CIs and the fixed or random effects pooled OR and CI and saves them to the current working directory (use getwd() to view cwd). The plots are not created in the R Graphics device.

Usage

catmap.forest(catmapobject, fe.forest, re.forest) 

Arguments

catmapobject The catmap object created by a previous call to catmap
fe.forest Logical. Should a forest plot be created using the fixed-effects estimates? Plots are saved with the default name of dataset.fixed.effects.forest.pdf, where dataset is the name of the file given as the first argument to catmap.
re.forest Logical. Should a forest plot be created using the random-effects estimates? Plots are saved with the default name of dataset.random.effects. forest.pdf where dataset is the name of the file given as the first argument to catmap.

Details

catmap.forest creates forest plots of individual study ORs and CIs plus the pooled estimate of the fixed- or random-effects pooled OR and CI. Plots are not created in the R Graphics device window, but are instead saved to a .pdf file in the current working directory, which can be found using getwd()
