Exercise: Endarterectomy versus stenting using CMA2, answer 6

Question 6: How could we improve the forest plot?

Suggested answer:

The labels at the bottom of the graph are not informative. CMA2 seems to lose whatever treatment labels you put in at data entry. Try changing them to "Favours Endarterectomy" and "Favours Stenting". (You can do this by clicking "Format", "Labels", )

I got this:

Forest plot, with at the bottom labels Favours Endarterectomy and Favours Stenting, which overlap.
