Figure 5

For each of the 24 non-pleiotropic SNPs (Table 4), the Forest plot shows the estimate of the effect of the Fasting Glucose risk allele upon CHD risk, as assessed for each SNP, the 95% confidence interval (black line segment) of the estimate and the inverse-variance weight (proportional to the size of the grey square) in the random-effects meta-analysis (blue diamond).
