Dear all,
I am trying to perform egger test on my meta analysis of studies on the prevalence of disease A in people drinking alcohol. A sample is shown below (I do not have 2x2 table data for all the studies)
OR UCI 95% LCI 95%
0.84 0.74 0.93
0.83 0.75 0.92
1.89 1.08 3.32
1.38 0.77 2.48
On entering meta bias egger it says - You must declare your meta-analysis data using either meta set or meta esize.
I have difficulty performing this step. The help guide says:
If you are working with effect sizes in the original metric, such as odds ratios or hazard ratios, with meta set, you should specify the effect sizes and CIs in a normalizing metric, such as the log metric.
However I am not sure how to create the log metric.
Any help would be appreciated!
