[R-meta] Effect size using forest plot

[Viechtbauer, Wolfgang (SP)]

Hi Julie,

What kind of effect size measure you want to plot? You say you have means, SDs, and Ns. For a single group or two groups? In the latter case, you probably want standardized mean differences. Then take a look at the example code at the bottom of:

library(metafor)
help(dat.normand1999)

It shows how to do this.

Best,
Wolfgang
