Funnel Plots in Meta-Analysis

Post by sauvik_dasgupta »

Hi,

I have done 2 random effects meta-analysis using Empirical Bayes estimator. I have plotted the two corresponding funnel plots.

However I have some doubts interpreting the two side-arms of the triangle of the funnel plot. I have plotted it with Standard error on y-axis v/s Mean difference on x-axis.

What is the formula for creating and calculating these two side-arms of the triangle in the funnel plot ? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,
