Dear all,I use metafor package to generate a forest plot showing the weight of each study in the plot. I use the code: library(metafor) data(dat.bcg) res <- rma(ai=tpos, bi=tneg, ci=cpos, di=cneg, data=dat.bcg, measure="RR", slab=paste(author, year, sep=", "), method="REML") forest(res, showweights=TRUE) It is possible to order the columns, placing the weights after effect size and CI?
There are some fairly extensive examples in the forest.rma documentation. You will also need some patience to get everything exactly where you want it and looking exactly how you want. Graphics are like that.
A further query: using escalc (or rma), it is possible to add the weight of each study (other than yi and vi) to the data (in the example: data.bcg)?
You can extract the weights from the fitted object using weights.ram.uni and put them in the data frame yourself. I am a bit worried about your mention of escalc, you do realise that the weights are a function of the fit, not the data?
So weights(res) should be OK here (not tested).
