Forest plots of hazard ratios of cancers per standard deviation overweight-years by cohort in the ABACus 2 Consortium for men. For each cancer type, there is a separate plot displaying the hazard ratio and 95% confidence interval per standard deviation of overweight years for each cohort, along with the common effects and random effects models from the IPD meta-analysis across the cohorts. Heterogeneity, I² shows the percentage of total variability due to between-study heterogeneity, with values > 50% indicating a high level of heterogeneity.
