Abstract: The funnel plot is widely used in meta-analyses to assess potential . However, experimental evidence suggests that informal, mere visual, inspection of funnel plots is frequently prone to incorrect conclusions, and formal statistical tests (Egger regression and others) entirely focus on funnel plot asymmetry. We suggest using the visual inference framework with funnel plots routinely, including for didactic purposes. In this framework, the type I error is controlled by design, while the explorative, holistic, and open nature of visual graph inspection is preserved. Specifically, the funnel plot of the actually observed data is presented simultaneously, in a lineup, with null funnel plots showing data simulated under the null hypothesis. Only when the real data funnel plot is identifiable from all the funnel plots presented, funnel plot-based conclusions might be warranted. Software to implement visual funnel plot inference is provided via a tailored R function.

Starting from the effect sizes and their standard errors actually observed in the meta-analysis (step 1), a lineup is constructed, showing the real-data funnel plot randomly positioned among null funnel plots (step 2). A viewer visually inspects the funnel plots in the lineup and picks the one that seems most noticeably or eye-catching (step 3). If the

Figure 4. Example of a funnel plot lineup incorporating subgroups of studies. One funnel plot shows the actually observed data from a published meta-analysis on the Mozart effect (Pietschnig, Voracek, & Formann, 2010), whereas the other 19 funnel plots show data simulated under the null hypothesis of a meta-analytic random-effects model. Study subgroups are depicted with different plotting symbols (white squares: studies from one author group of interest; dark circles: studies from all other authors). Subgroup membership is randomly drawn without replacement from the actually observed data and randomly assigned for each study in each null plot.
