Figure 2. Forest plot of RA susceptibility associated with IL-23R gene rs2201841 polymorphism under the G vs. A model. The squares and horizontal lines correspond to the study-specific OR and 95% CI. The area of the squares reflects the weight (inverse of the variance). The diamond represents the summary OR and 95% CI.
