CUMFORESTPLOT Subcommand (META ES CONTINUOUS command)
The META ES CONTINUOUS command calls the meta-analysis procedure with
continuous outcomes and pre-calculated 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.
