[R-meta] Metafor package: Using subset in forest() - R-SIG-meta-analysis

Mon, Aug 6, 2018 2:05 AM #

Dear Julia,

The R function forest() in R package meta considers the arguments 
'subset' (use subset of studies) and 'exclude' (show studies in 
printouts and forest plots, however, exclude from meta-analysis) 
provided in R functions to conduct meta-analyses.

Please find attached an artificial example using R function metagen() 
and the corresponding forest plots.

Best wishes,
Guido
