Multiple uses of forest plots in presenting analysis results in health research

Forest plots are an important graphical method in meta-analyses used to show results from individual studies and pooled analyses. Forest plots are easy and straightforward to understand because they provide tabular and graphical information about estimates of comparisons or associations, corresponding precision and statistical significance. This visual representation also makes it easier to see variations between individual study results. Forest plots are not only widely used in systematic reviews and meta-analyses, but also in observational studies and clinical trials.
