I don't get the note on the origin. How can it be true that the name originated in 1996 but Peto was joking about it in 1990? Am I missing something here? Thanks. 138.37.199.206 19:14, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the image could be redrawn to be more informative. Typically the diamond used to represent the summary measure of effect is drawn such that its left and right points represent the 95% confident intervals on that measure. It is also common to list the study names to the right or left of the individual study lines. Anyone willing to draw update the diagram to reflect these points?Jimjamjak (talk) 14:49, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
