Fig Forest plot compares the odds ratio (and 95% confidence intervals) of the one-year failure rate of BBAVF and RCAVF in elderly patients over 65 years of age. The effect of individual studies is demonstrated with red squares and the pooled effect (OR 0.62, CI 0.46-0.83) is demonstrated with a yellow rhombus.
