Hi Elizabeth, 

I understand what you mean but I don't think it is possible to do that in RevMan. It can be easily done in other programs like Stata. 

Let me know if you need help in creating that in Stata.

I think you can do it. I think if you put the effect estimates of different subgroups in place of study data you should be able to produce the image you uploaded in RevMan.  

http://www.bmj.com/content/338/bmj.b1665.long see this meta-analysis. The author has done a really great job here.

And I don't think you care about all statistical tests of significance in the forest plot because you just need to show your data in more reader friendly way. But showing number of studies would be a challange

OR else you can use excel for making forest plots to present your data

Hello. Spamming a bit here. In order to make a sub-group analysis, do I need at least 10 studies that fit the sub-group criteria? Or that number (10) is the minimum for the broad meta-analysis and if I have those, that I can make a sub-group with just 3 studies, for example? Thanks

Addionatily, If I want to compare a sub-group analysis comparing male to female, ideally should I use only RTC that compared gender differences? Or can I group studies that have only men or only women and compare them in the sub-group analysis?
