Combined forest plot: lipid profile and mortality.
Hazard ratios and the 95% confidence intervals of the various lipid profile indices for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in both age groups, adjusted for the selected confounders.
Figure 3.
Hazard ratios and their 95% confidence intervals (adjusted for confounders) of LDL-cholesterol for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality after exclusion of the deaths in the first follow-up years. Hazard ratios of several analyses in both age groups are presented: an analysis including all follow-up years, an analysis in which the first year of follow-up was excluded, an analysis in which the first two years of follow-up was excluded and so forth.

Combined forest plot: short versus long diabetes duration.
Hazard ratios and the 95% confidence intervals of the various lipid profile indices stratified for diabetes duration (< median value versus median value and higher), adjusted for the selected confounders.
