Hello, I have been working with the meta and rmeta packages in R. Is it possible to plot both the fixed and random effects so they appear on the same plot? Basically, I would like the plot to show the effects of each study, the summary effect for the fixed effects and the summary effect for the random effects. As far as I can tell from the documentation and my own code, possible plots pertain to one or the other, but not both. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, H _________________________________________________________________ [[replacing trailing spam]]

The forestplot() function in rmeta can plot fairly flexible forest plots.

effect for the fixed effects and the summary effect for the random effects.
