CUMFORESTPLOT Subcommand (META ES BINARY command)
The META ES BINARY command calls the meta-analysis procedure for binary
outcomes when the pre-calculated effect size data are provided in the active data set. 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. The order of the keywords determines the display order of the columns.
- 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, which is
available when
/CUMFORESTPLOT EFORM = FALSE, and is otherwise ignored. - 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 for each individual study.
- ESFORM
- The optional keyword controls the plot column and the display of
ES and CI when specified by DISPLAY. The
process is available when
/ESTYPE = LOGOR,LOGPETO, orLOGRR, and is otherwise ignored. FALSE is the default setting, which plots the log odds ratio, Peto’s log odds ratio, or log risk ratio, and tabulates the log-transformed statistics. TRUE plots the odds ratio, Peto’s odds ratio, or risk ratio, and tabulates the exponential-form statistics. - 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. When/DATA ESTYPE = RD, it must also satisfyvalue2 ≤ 1andvalue1 ≥ −1. When/CUMFORESTPLOT /EFORM = TRUE, it must also satisfyvalue1 ≥ 0.
