RE: st: Forest Plot
I think
findit forest plot
is the correct spelling. A forest plot is so called because the
bottom-line summary confidence interval is like a forest, and the
individual study confidence intervals are like the individual trees. It
is not named after a "Professor Forrest".
If Sripal wants to create a customized Stata format for forest plots,
then 2 useful tools might be -metaparm- (part of the -parmest- package)
and -eclplot-. The -parmest- and -eclplot- packages are both
downloadable from SSC using the -ssc- command. An example of a forest
plot produced using -metaparm- can be viewed in the presentation of
Newson (2006). The presentation, and the do-file to produce this forest
plot, can be downloaded from my website at

I hope this helps.
Roger
