Hi, community!

I am conducting a meta-analysis and meta-regression to calculate the pooled adjusted odds ratio (AOR) and I² with the p-value for variables associated with hypertension prevalence. I have a dataset with the following columns:

• study_id: Study identifier
• AOR: Adjusted odds ratio (each independent variable)
• lower_CI: Lower confidence interval (each independent variable)
• upper_CI: Upper confidence interval (each independent variable)
• variable: Independent variable

Here is the script I am using in R:

# Calculate the standard error (seTE)
