st: Meta-analysis of rates?

[Sona Saha <ssaha@uclink4.berkeley.edu>]

Hi,

Is anyone familiar with any routines or commands in STATA that allow for a 
meta-analysis of rates?

The metan, meta and metacum commands require 2 groups for analysis. 
Ideally, I would very much like to pool these rates with options for random 
or fixed effects models, evaluating heterogeneity and the ability to create 
Forrest plots. However, I have not found a routine that will take data for 
just one group per study. If you have any suggestions or advice that would 
be much appreciated.

Thank you!

Regards,
Sona
