    Forest plots for meta-analyses comparing risk of Type II diabetes in HCV infected cases compared to that in non-infected controls in retrospective studies (n=14). Dimension of shaded odds ratio for individual studies is proportional to their total weight in calculation of the pooled estimator. This figure appears in colour on the web

    Forest plot of hazard ratios and the overall pooled estimator for longitudinal studies comparing diabetes risk in individuals with HCV infection to that in individuals without HCV infection (n=3). Dimension of shaded hazards ratio for individual studies is proportional to their total weight in calculation of the pooled estimator. This figure appears in colour on the web.
