Fig 2 Forest plot shows the rate of large abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) in patients unfit for surgery. The solid squares indicate the mean difference and are proportional to the weights used in the meta-analysis. The solid vertical line indicates no effect. The diamond indicates the weighted mean difference and the lateral tips of the diamond indicate the associated confidence intervals (CIs) The horizontal lines represent the 95% CIs.
