CUMFORESTPLOT Subcommand (META CONTINUOUS command)
The META CONTINUOUS command calls the meta-analysis procedure with continuous
outcomes and raw effect size data. The optional CUMFORESTPLOT subcommand invokes
the cumulative forest plot. The process is available when /DATA CUMULATIVE is
specified, and is otherwise ignored. The subcommand is not specified by default, which suppresses
the cumulative forest plot. When the subcommand specified, it takes the following parameters and
keywords to create the cumulative forest plot.
- DISPLAY
- The optional keyword specifies the estimated statistics tabulated after
id and/or study.
- ES
- Includes the cumulative overall effect size.
- SE
- Includes the standard error of the cumulative overall effect size.
- CI
- Includes the confidence interval lower and upper limits of the cumulative overall effect size.
- PVAL
- Includes the p-value of the cumulative overall effect size.
- ADDCOLS
- The optional keyword specifies the additional columns to display after the
columns specified by DISPLAY. The variables already specified by
/DATA IDand/or/DATA STUDYare not allowed. The variable order determines the column display order. - POSITION
- The optional keyword controls the placement of the plot column.
- RIGHT
- The default setting places the plot column on the right of the other table columns.
- LEFT
- Places the plot column on the left of the other table columns.
- CROP
- The optional keyword specifies the crop range. When the keyword is
specified, two numeric values must be specified and satisfy
value2 > value1.
