2 Figure. Each study is represented by the point estimate for the outcome in question and by CIs on either side of that value. The vertical line corresponds to an odds ratio of 1.0; studies where the CI crosses the 1.0 line demonstrate no statistically significant difference between the groups (ie, those receiving magnesium sulfate versus those receiving placebo). Values to the left and not crossing the vertical line indicate a benefit of magnesium sulfate. The large horizontal diamonds in the figure correspond to the pooled results of the individual studies with narrower CIs.
