Figure 8

Funnel plot of contrast-induced nephropathy (with estimated unpublished studies). Trials are depicted by circles with the random-effects log odds ratio shown along the horizontal axis and precision in estimating this effect (reciprocal standard error) along the vertical axis. The Trim and Fill method was used to calculate the true center of the funnel (indicated by the vertical line) after filling in estimates of unpublished studies (depicted with black dots). The empty diamond indicates the original confidence intervals of the log odds ratio; the black diamond indicates the corresponding values when the additional imputed studies are also considered.
