Estimates of the combined treatment effect and lengths of confidence or credible intervals for both effect measures, empirical data set. The first row shows the treatment effect estimates for the RR (left column) and the OR (right column) compared to the standard DL approach. Colours indicate the various methods. The second row illustrates the length of confidence or credible intervals and the respective adjustments, again for the RR (left column) and the OR (right column)
