Dear R-Users,

i have to questions about plotting a forest plot with the metafor package:

1) Is there a (text()) function to add additional information (e.g. 
heterogeneity statistics) under the forest plot?
2) I want to add various columns of additional information about each 
study (e.g. quality, time point, measure....). I thought i could do that 
with the ilab-argument, but i keep getting in the way with the line that 
restricts the plot and although i tweaked everything around, I do not 
succeed. Basecally, i want the format of the forest plot to be rather 
wide than tall, because i have little studies but many columns with 
additional study information. Does someone know how to solve that (over 
xlim, ylim???)?

Thanks a lot for your help

Linde
