st: Using the metan command for continuous data with regression coefficient estimates

[Miranda Kim <mk@mrc.soton.ac.uk>]

Hello,
I am looking into using the meta-analysis commands in Stata but am very 
new to this, and would be very grateful for some guidance on the 
following...
Is it possible to use metan when the statistics for individual studies 
are regression coefficients, rather than mean differences which seems to 
be the default?
Many thanks for your help,
Miranda
