Maybe Jonathan was referring to the -help metan- instead of the Stata Press

Betreff: Re: st: Using the metan command for continuous data with regression
coefficient estimates
Dear Jonathan,
Thanks a lot for your response! I have the recently published book
"Meta-analysis in Stata:...." but could not find the example you
mention. However, just plugging in the regression coefficients and
standard errors has worked just fine!
Many thanks,
Miranda
