[R-meta] Adjust the scale for x-axis using forest() function in the metafor package

Hey Michael,
It is indeed a plot on the log-scale.
However, I did transform the values back to the original scale using
atransf = exp.
It is quite intuitive to see the 95% CI on the linear scale so the
variabilities of different studies can be seen clearly.
If you take a look at the plot above (in the previous email): the first
study had a very wide 95% CI (on the plot) although the values vary only
between 10 and 99.
The Roghmann study (fifth from the top) had a wide CI (from 400 to 1300)
but shows very short CI on the plot.

Regards,
Thao
