Z-curve plot is a new visual model fit diagnostic for #metaanalysis with an emphasis on #publicationbias. In contrast to funnel plots, z-curve plots
- visualize the distribution of z-statistics (where bias usually occurs)
- compare the fit of multiple models simultaneously

Every single day, with no exception, Israel is carrying out massacre after massacre in Gaza. The livestreamed genocide continues thanks to Israel's western allies that are too busy cracking down on any signs of dissent at home

#Gaza #ProfitsOfWar
Francesca Albanese describes the dark, self-serving reason that no UN member states have stopped the genocide in Gaza — namely, the economy of war, crisis and genocide that fuels the slaughter and fills the pockets of craven private actors.

La relatora de la ONU está a punto de publicar un nuevo informe en el que desvela la economía que contribuye al genocidio: "Los Estados deben imponer sanciones y cortar lazos con Israel, pero también los bancos deben dejar de invertir y las empresas dejar de lucrarse con ello”

How bad will it be? Catastrophic.

Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come.

But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget.

Speak up now before it is too late.

(inflation adjusted $-s below)

NSF, NASA and NIH budgets per year, inflation adjusted from 2000-2025 along with the proposed cuts. NSF includes research component only. Massive cuts across all sectors, well below support spanning 25 years.

Meta-analysis forest plots begin to look too crowded if you're reporting around 50 effect sizes or more. This 'orchard plot' is a really nice alternative for visualising 50+ effect sizes (paper link: doi.org/10.1111/ele....).

Can anyone point me to other similar visualisations that they like?
