Basically, I would like the plot to show the effects of each study, the summary effect for the fixed effects and the summary effect for the random effects.

Hi Heather,

Is this what you are looking for?

library(meta)
data(Fleiss93)
meta1 <- metabin(event.e, n.e, event.c, n.c, data=Fleiss93, sm="RR",
meth="I")
meta1

## with new labels
plot(meta1, comb.f = TRUE, comb.r = TRUE, text.f = "New label FEM",
text.r = "New label REM")

## without new labels
plot(meta1, comb.f = TRUE, comb.r = TRUE)

HTH,

Bernd
