Figure 3.
Begg’s funnel plot (using odds ratio (OR) of Hodgkin lymphoma risk associated with variant genotype rs17655 CC versus GG). The horizontal line represents the meta-analysis summary estimate, and the diagonal lines pseudo-95% CI limits about the effect estimate. In the absence of publication bias, studies will be distributed symmetrically above and below the horizontal line. Asymmetry on the top of the graph indicates evidence of publication bias towards studies reporting a positive logOR. LogOR, natural logarithm of the OR; s.e. of logOR, standard error of the logOR
