Dear Ross, Thank you very much. I am sorry, I was actually referring to Forest plots. The outcome of interest is waist-hip ratio, which makes it difficult or rather not possible to change the scale of estimates. If you have any further suggestions of this, it would be of great help.

If you mean forest plots, and are using metan, then you are right: unfortunately it is not possible to change the decimal places. This is because most applications use risk ratios of some sort, which are generally adequately displayed to 2dp. This is something on the wishlist to be changed in future. If your estimates really are so small, then perhaps they are non-standardised mean differences. In which case, I would suggest changing the scale of your estimates - e.g., grams to kilograms, 1000s of whatever measure you are using, etc. Similarly, if you are analysing some non-standard measure, such as rates, then change the scale of these. Hopefully this is something that will be updated in future, but this will have to do for now.

For a particular trait that I am interested in, the effect size and 95%CI are in the range of 0.001-0.0004. The funnel plot shows only upto two decimal points ( which makes it appear 0.00 for all studies in the analysis). I would much appreciate if someone tells me, how this could be edit to 3-4 decimal points.
