Figure 2
Figure 2 Forest plot for workplace exposure. Estimates of the RR and its 95%CI are shown sorted in increasing order of RR. These are shown numerically, and also graphically on a logarithmic scale. Estimates are identified by the study number shown in Table 1, an abbreviation of the author name and the sex to which the estimate relates (m = male, f = female, c = combined sex estimate). In the graphical representation, individual RRs are indicated by a solid square, with the area of the square proportional to the weight (the inverse of the variance of log RR). The overall random-effects estimate (RRs and 95%CI) is shown, represented graphically by a diamond whose width indicates the confidence interval. aProspective study.
