Funnel Plot of Standard Error by Log Odds Ratioa
aThe trim and fill method asks how the effect would shift if there were no publication bias by allowing us to impute missing studies. Using the random-effects model, no studies are missing. However, under a fixed-effects model, the trim and fill method displays 4 missing studies to the right of the mean. This funnel plot, a representation of the fixed-effects model, includes both observed studies and the 4 imputed studies by the black dots as well as the shift in the effect size.
