Pneumonia. Rates of postoperative pneumonia for each of the studies included are shown along with ORs and 95% CIs. The studies were divided into two subgroups, high risk of bias and low risk of bias, according to the SIGN checklist (see text for details). The pooled OR and 95% CI are shown as the total. The size of the box at the point estimate of the OR gives a visual representation of the 'weighting' of the study. The diamond represents the point estimate of the pooled OR and the length of the diamond is proportional to the CI. 95% CI: 95% confidence interval; OR: odds ratio; SIGN: Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network.
