Forest plots for the association between rs1800450 (A/B = G/A allele) polymorphism and VVC under the (a) allelic, (b) homozygote, (c) heterozygote, (d) dominant and (e) recessive mode of inheritance for the studies includingGirlado et al.17; Liu et al.9 and Velazquez-Hernandez et al.20. Black boxes represents the value of odds ratio (OR) and the size of the boxes is inversely proportional to the size of the result study variance, so that more precise studieshave larger boxes. Horizontal line is the 95% Confidence Interval (CI) of OR. The summary OR is represented by the diamond, where the center of the diamond indicates the OR. The ES is effect size expressed as OR; W, weight; Sig, statistical significance; N1, cases; N2, controls.
