Extended Data Fig. 8. Funnel plot for meta-analysis of the association between childhood sexual abuse and five outcomes with an estimated one- or zero-star association identified through the systematic review of the literature.

Extended Data Fig. 8

These modified funnel plots show the residuals of the reported mean relative risk (RR) relative to 0, the null value, on the x-axis and the residuals of the standard error, as estimated from both the reported standard error and gamma, relative to 0 on the y-axis. The light blue vertical interval corresponds to the 95% uncertainty interval (UI) incorporating between-study heterogeneity; the dark blue vertical interval corresponds to the 95% UI without between-study heterogeneity; the dots are each included observation; the red Xs are outliered observations; the grey dotted line reflects the null log(RR) of 0 (equivalent to a null RR of 1); the blue vertical line is the mean log(RR) for childhood sexual abuse and the outcome of interest; the red vertical line is the burden of proof function at the 5th quantile for these harmful risk-outcome associations.
