How to Interpret a Forest Plot 

this video is about to blow up.

You are a god sir! Thank you for this. My EBP class went over this and was able to get 90% of it but you brought it down to such layman terms that it makes TOTAL SENSE NOW!!! Thank you for this!!!!

Cris Kresser looked this video up when he got home. 😂😂😂

Here just in case James Wilks comes at me.

terry! thanks so much man. you explain things so clearly. amazing that you're helping students from all around the world.

A simplified way to explain a rather difficult problem. Great! Please stay blessed

Thank you for this! Concise and well explained. Excited to check out your other videos.

Thank you for your simple yet propper explanation, as well as the easily readable example and visuals. Regards South Africa

short simple and very informative sir

Can we send this to Chris Kresser?

Thank you for such a concise and understandable explanation of a forest plot!

@Chris Kresser

Dr. Shaneyfelt, I am working on a systematic review (my first one) and this really helped! I appreciate it!

Fabulous thanks Dear Terry . I really liked the way you demonstrated in a a simple way .

Sir, I love you for your generosity to share knowledge with such efficiency.

I love how every comment is about TGRE but I'm just here like "I really need to understand this for my degree"

YOU ROCK! Thank you very much for this valuable work you do. Regards from Germany.

Concise and clear! Thank you!

This is so well summarized... where were you during my Research and Critical Appraisal class lol!

Thanks! Excellent video, greetings from Mexico!

Thank you so much, very clear and simple explanation. NOW i can start to write my results. :D

You are the best teacher on statistics !

Thank you so much! This will help me on my final exam tomorrow.

Brilliant and outstanding .... Your explanations are splendid. Crisp and sleek.

This is so helpful! Thank you!

I learn a lot from these series videos!

terry thanks for your help i understand it so much better terry we love you!!!!

Glad I found your video series.. you have been so helpful to me in understanding most of these interpretations. Thank you Sir!

This video was very helpful, thank you!

thank you, it's very useful to get enough knowledge about forest plot.

Thanks for this useful video.I understood the concept which has been kind of vague for me over the years.

Thank you so much for your video. This was most useful!

perfect video!! just what I needed. thank you

This explanation was amazing! Wow!!

Nice and Well summarized presentation

Powerful Joe Rogan!

wow..thank you so much. this was like one of the most helpful videos ever made.

quite informative and helpful. Great job

2things: 1) the authors of the paper where I got the figure from chose the scale 2) it's based upon the results and the confidence intervals. The right side can go to infinity but the left side is more bounded because it is a ratio measure. There are limits of how small the lower end of a conf interval of a ratio can be. Hope this makes sense. If not I'll try another explanation

Thanks a lot.Really helpful!

Thank you so much for this video!

Anybody else here because of Joe Rogan's latest podcast debate? #1393

That was awesome sir! Thank you for sharing

Confidence interval gives you a sense of the uncertainty in the estimate of the hazard ratio. I have a video on confidence intervals

Thanks. Very helpful videos!

Hi Terry Great explanation many thanks

super helpful, thank you!

Thank you. Like seriously.

Very simple explanation. Thank you

very helpful! Because of this video I will get a better grade! Thank you :D

Good explanation.

brilliant explanation

Thank you!

Thanks Doc!

Great video

well done! thank you

Thank you so much !!!!

Joe ROGAN sent me

brilliant! thanks

Thank you!!

it's an alternative way to express the weight that study was given in the metaanalysis is my understanding

What does the confidence interval show in regards to the results?

Thank you!!!

Thanks for a great video! Question: a lot of times the studies don't label at the bottom which side favors control vs exp Is it by convention that the left side favors exp and right favors control? Thanks

thank you sooo so much!

Just pay attention to the scale and the outcome and you can figure out if the finding favors control or intervention

Hello sir First of all thank you so much for uploading such informative video on RU-vid.i believe this would have helped all the learners. Dear sir..I have 5 forest plot would you please interpret for me..

Hi Terry, I just want to thank you for making it really clearer!! my question to you is when you have been given this kind of plot and asked to write about the finding, do we have to focuse on the 95% CI and p value? can we also include the rest of the finding and describe them? BW

Thanks man😊

I'm wondering why Study4, which had no events, was not assigned a weight into the Total. Study4 is included in the Total (I.e. 20+30+15+20+40+102=227), but seems to be assigned no Weight.

thank your video its very helpfully. i have some question

i would like to know if this diamond had a value above 1 but on the control side... would that mean that there is an increased risk in control group or the case group

Does the overall effect also called pooled OR / pooled RR in some paper?

Thank you sir.

Can you tell me more about the Z? What does it stand for?

Thank you.

how will you know which group is more precise based on the graph?

How do you calculate the weight of each study?

James wilks sent me here. 🤣 #bekind #bevegan

thank you so much

Thank you so much for the video. Question about gray boxes on the forest plot when gray boxes are superimposed on black solid boxes representing point estimates. What do these gray boxes represent?

thanks

please explain the effect size analysis

Thank you
