The metafor Package

The metafor package provides several functions for creating a variety of different meta-analytic plots and figures, including forest, funnel, bubble, Baujat, L'Abbé, radial (Galbraith), GOSH, and normal quantile-quantile plots. Please follow the links below for some examples.

Note: If an example does not work properly, try installing the development version of the metafor package as described here.
