GALBRAITHPLOT Subcommand (META BINARY command)

The META BINARY command calls the meta-analysis procedure for binary outcomes when the raw data are provided in the active dataset for the estimation of the effect size. The optional GALBRAITHPLOT subcommand invokes the Galbraith plot. The subcommand is not specified by default, which suppresses the funnel plot. When the subcommand is specified, it takes the following parameters and keywords to create the Galbraith plot.

CI

The optional keyword controls the confidence interval bounds. TRUE is the default setting, which adds the confidence interval bounds to the Galbraith plot. When FALSE is specified, the confidence interval bounds are suppressed.

LABEL

The optional keyword specifies the variable upon which the labeled Galbraith plot is based. The variable can be followed by an additional keyword specified in parentheses. AUTO is the default setting, which automatically places the labels in the “optimal” place. UPPER, BOTTOM, RIGHT, and LEFT places the labels on the upper, bottom, right, and left, respectively.

YRANGE

The optional keyword specifies the y-axis plot range. When the keyword is specified, two numeric values must be specified and satisfy value2 > value1.

XRANGE

The optional keyword specifies the x-axis plot range. When the keyword is specified, two numeric values must be specified and satisfy value2 > value1 ≥ 0.
