Fig Funnel plots to assess publication bias in analyses concerning extra-anatomic bypass grafts (A), rifampicin-bonded prostheses (B), cryo-preserved allografts (C), and autogenous veins (D). The treatment measure (eg, event rate) is on the horizontal axis and the measure of its precision (eg, 1/Std Err) is on the vertical axis. Funnel plots for each treatment modality are approximately symmetrical, indicating absence of major publication bias.
