5 Figure 4 A funnel plot showing the relationship between the precision of risk estimates (a function of sample size) on the y-axis, and the log of risk estimates on the x-axis. Each circle (○) represents 1 study. The distribution is relatively symmetric, indicating the absence of publication bias.
