Biostatistics & Research · single question
A forest plot, displaying point estimates and confidence intervals from multiple individual studies on a single graph, is most characteristically used in which type of publication?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. A systematic review and meta-analysis
Forest plots visually combine the effect estimates (with confidence intervals) from multiple individual studies included in a systematic review, along with a pooled summary effect estimate from the meta-analysis — making them the signature visual tool of systematic reviews/meta-analyses.
