[R-meta] forest plot with large number of studies
Hi Roger, I recently stumbled across the "forestplot" package, which I found quite useful: ??https://cran.r-project.org/package=forestplot It takes a bit of getting into its syntax, but once you get it to work, you can create very nice forest plots. With that it should be straightforward to, say, divide your data into three parts and then generate three forest plots of which only the 3rd shows the summary diamond. Cheers, Christian

Dear metafor users, I downloaded the data set from??Assinka and Wibbelink (2016) available from http://www.tqmp.org/RegularArticles/vol12-3/p154/p154. pdf The data set (i.e., p154-dataset.csv) contains 100 studies. Using the forest ( ) function on the multilevel model termed multiplemoderator (i.e., Listing 15), I got a crowded forest plot hard to interpret because there are too many studies. I even get a bigger problem on my own data sets with near to 300 studies. Is there a way to produce a forest plot on 2 or more pages when needed for scrutinizing and printing? Is there a good web site that shows how to adjust coordinates or change dimensions of the plotting device?
