How can I generate Deek's funnel plot in R software, not in STATA?

I am conducting Diagnostic test accuracy meta-analysis.

For publication bias, I want to conduct Deek's funnel plot test.

I am using R software with mada ant meta packages.

However, I found that there is no r package for Deek's funnel plot test.

Deek's test seems to be available only in STATA.

mymeta = metabin(TP, TP+FP, FN, FN+TN, sm = “OR”)

metabias(mymeta, method.bias = “deeks”)

funnel(mymeta, y.axis = “ess”)
