Dear all,

I am struggling to add a prediction interval to a forest plot that was
created with forest.meta(), package "meta".

I checked the source of forest.meta() and realized that it is heavily
relying on grid. I am lacking any experience with grid graphics. So, I
am having difficulties to find out where the random effects estimate is
actually plotted in order to add prediction intervals.

I appreciate this is not a direct answer to your question but the
equivalent function in metafor (available from CRAN) does this and it
might be easier to use that.

Thanks, Michael!

Yes, I vaguely remember that the metafor package can calculate the PIs but most of our analyses rely on the meta package. On the other hand, this might be a good reason to finally switch to metafor.

You probably refer to the function addpoly() which can be used for that. I will check it out.

I was thinking of the addcred parameter to forest.rma.uni in fact, although you could roll your own.


Again, thanks for your help,

Bernd
