Scatter Plot Editor

The Scatter Plot Editor is an area of ProMeta for building a meta-regression scatter plot, independent of any project. Each point is a study: its position shows the moderator value and the effect size, its size reflects its weight, and a regression line (or a fitted curve) shows the trend. See Moderators and meta-regression for how to read it.

Features

• Edit the points in a table (name, moderator value, effect size, weight) and set the regression line.
• Customize the look through a template that you can export and reuse.
• Download the plot as an editable SVG for your manuscript.
• Save the work as a .scatterplot file, and import or export the points as CSV.
• Runs in the browser; your data never leaves your machine (see Data & Security).

From an analysis

In a ProMeta project, meta-regression on a single numerical moderator and the time-lag bias test draw this plot for you. On the command line, those analyses write the points with --plot-csv and render-scatter draws them (see the commands).

Who it's for

Anyone who already has effect sizes, a moderator and a regression line, from ProMeta or another tool, and wants a clean, editable plot. Related: forest plot, funnel plot, radial plot. Shares ProMeta's releases, known bugs and privacy policy.
