Main Article

Figure 3

Funnel plot showing evidence of publication bias among 26 studies in a meta-analysis of meningitis rates in Streptococcus suis infection. Each blue circle represents each study in the meta-analysis, forming an asymmetric funnel plot with a pooled log event rate (blue rhombus). Eight missing studies (red circles) added in the left side through the trim and fill method to make the plot more symmetric and gave an adjusted log event rate (red rhombus), which was lower than the original one.
