Dear Authors,
Thank you very much for this useful paper. I learned to build a forest plot based on your paper.
I found there has been a typing error in the paper while building in the forest paper.
In page 4, Spreadsheet2, Forest plot sub section: in step 2 (last paragraph, last line). You have mentioned K2=I2+(100*F2). However, it leads to the value which is different from what you have mentioned in the Figure2 on Colum K. I checked your additional file and found that you original instruction was K2=(G2*100)-I2. I am sure it is a typo error. I am writing to you in case readers may chose to practice from your original excel files.
Thank you again for your paper, and additional files. It is very helpful for the beginners like me.
Sincerely,

Dear Vishnu,
You are correct. If you use the formulas from the additional file everything should work fine.
I am glad the paper was helpful and that you've learned from it.
