- Fig 1.
Four separate forest plots of the association between CT angiography–determined plaque characteristics and recent prior ipsilateral ischemic events. Each meta-analysis was calculated with a random-effects model with pooled ORs shown for each forest plot. Each square represents the point estimate of the effect size of the study with the square size being proportional to the inverse of the variance of the estimate and the horizontal lines representing each the 95% CI of each study. The diamond represents the pooled estimate with the width of the diamond representing the pooled 95% CI.
