From: Estimating required information size by quantifying diversity in random-effects model meta-analyses
Diversity ( D 2 ) in % compared to inconsistency ( I 2 ) in % in seven meta-analyses (see Table 1) depicted as open circles. The open circles indicate that D 2 is always equal to or larger than I 2. 100% heterogeneity is impossible and the upper right point is just to illustrate that D 2 nears asymptotically to I 2 when heterogeneity nears 100%. Line of unity, D 2 = I 2 is the dotted blue line.
