From: Antimalarial drugs for preventing malaria during pregnancy and the risk of low birth weight: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized and quasi-randomized trials

Fig. 2

Antimalarial drugs compared to no use of antimalarial drugs and risk of LBW. Each study is displayed as a square and horizontal line, representing the relative risk together with its confidence interval. The area of the square represents the weight that the study contributes to the meta-analysis. The combined relative risk and its confidence interval are represented by the diamond. The P value after I2 represents chi-square test for heterogeneity. DerSimonian and Laird were used to calculate the random effect model. CI, confidence interval; LBW, low birth weight; RR, relative risk
