how to show the overall summary in a forest plot exponantiated?-CodePudding

I am running a meta analysis in R where the summary measures are given in logHR. The data are given below

logHR<-c(-0.2877,-0.2357,-0.2877,-0.3455)
   seHR<-c(0.0639,0.07834,0.09768,0.05673)
   df<-data.frame(logHR,seHR)
   meta<-metagen(df$logHR,df$seHR)
   forest(meta)

my questions is how can I make the forest plot to show the results with the confidence intervals as HR and not logHR?

CodePudding user response：

You need to change the summary measure to Hazard Ratio. Just include the parameter sm = "HR" when creating your meta object.

library(meta)

meta <- metagen(df$logHR, df$seHR, sm = 'HR')
forest(meta)
