R metafor forest plot: change summary polygon size without changing annotation size

I have a forest plot with sub-analyses where some of the summary estimates extend beyond the plot limits and end up cutting off summary annotations, making the plot look less than great. I don't want to change the plot limits because there are a set of study-level estimates that that have super wide CI's and a set that have reasonable CI's which I want to keep for being squeezed.

I tried variants of addpoly without finding a satisfactory solution, but perhaps someone has dealt with the case already: addpoly.rma(x=ma.time03, row = 1.5, transf=exp, mlab="", level=95, efac=0)

Is there a method for shrinking just the summary polygon, but not the annotations?

Thanks in advance!

You can change the size of the polygon by using the efac statement within the addpoly.rma or forest function.

For example try to set the efac statement <1 e.g. efac = 0.5 or efac = c(1,1,0.5) if you want to make the polygon bigger, you can use values >1.
