Meta-analysis results for straight needle venipuncture vs. IV starts. Mixed effects analysis using forest plot representations. In each forest plot the center line labeled ‘1’ equals no difference between practices, and each vertical line represents a 10-fold increase or decrease in hemolysis rates. Estimates to the left of the line favor the tested practice while estimates to the right favor the comparator (or usual practice).
