The first is to change the colour of the scatter points to black, as traditionally forest plot points are solid black circles. There are a few more things we can do before we finish. Format the forest plot Change the scatter points to black

Repeat these calculations for all the studies in your sheet.Ħ. Graph upper 95% CI – Subtract the cell containing the effect size (odds ratio) from the actual upper 95% confidence interval.Graph lower 95% CI – Subtract the cell containing the actual lower 95% confidence interval from the effect size (odds ratio).To do this, I will create two new columns in my sheet. In this case, the error bars will represent the 95% confidence intervals.īefore we can do this, we need to calculate the difference between the effect size, so the odds ratio for my example, and the lower and upper 95% confidence interval values. Next, let’s add the error bars to the scatter points. Add error bars (whiskers) to the scatter points To delete this, simply click on the right axis and press delete on your keyboard. Instead, click on any bar to select them all, and then go to Format and change the Shape Fill to No Fill.Īnother thing I suggest you do is to remove the axis on the right, which corresponds to the Positions, as we don’t need to see this. Since we still want to see the study names for our labels to the left of the axis, we cannot simply click on the bars and delete them. Next, we can remove the clustered bar graph, as we don’t need to see this.
