Forest Plot

Mahee — Mon, 15 Apr 2019 11:01:56 GMT

In attached Forest plot, I need to draw an Arrow for the Diabetes "Yes" record since it reaches the value 2. I'm using template to draw this forest plot. Could you please guide me with the options.

This is the template which is used to draw that HR & CI part.

layout overlay/ walldisplay=none xaxisopts=(display=none
linearopts=(viewmin=0 viewmax=25) offsetmin=0);
%let refbandattrs=lineattrs=(thickness=7 color=_bandcolor);
referenceline y=ref/ &refbandattrs;
highlowplot y=obsid low=zero high=zero/highlabel=heading lineattrs=(thickness=0)
labelattrs=(size=7 weight=bold) ;
highlowplot y=obsid low=zero high=one /highlabel=col8 lineattrs=(thickness=0)
labelattrs=(size=7);
endlayout;

It looks like the graph was copied from Warren's article.

See Sanjay's article on the Swimmer Plot. for one approach, which uses annotation. I prefer to avoid annotation when I can, so I suggest that you create one or more separate columns that identify which rows of the high-low plot should get an arrow, then draw those lines separately.

Thanks for the reply!!!

Yes for reference I copied that graph from that article.

I'll check the article you have shared
