I am working on a case-control systematic review study. Here, my objective is to pool SMD(Standardized Mean Difference). I already performed forest plot and funnel plot. But now, facing troubles in performing Bias study (Eggers and Begg test). What would be the code for my study? Thanks in advance.
My study variables are ncase, MeanCase, sdCase, nControl, MeanConttol and sd Control.
Please try metabias command.. If this is working in version 14, I can provide the whole command to do the egger test
Thant you for your comment dear Sajesh K Veettil . I used the the metabias command. But the problem is to crate SMD variable and it's standard deviations. Would be very happy and want to acknowledge you if you provide. Thank you again.
Kind Regards
Meshbah
Thank you so much for replying me Babak Saravi . I used the the metabias (Code: metabias SMD SE_SMD, egger) command. But the problem is to crate SMD variable and it's standard deviations. would you please help me regarding this? Thank you.
Thank you dear Sajesh K Veettil . But, I haven't the UCL and LCL. I have only n_case, m_case, sd_case, n_control, m_control and sd_control. Here, "m" means the Mean value.
