Perhaps the easiest way to do this is with -statsby-.  For example,  
suppose that the two variables that comprise your two-by-two table(s)  
are called var1 and var2, and suppose that your studies are indexed by  
a variable called study.  In that case, the following will place the p- 
value and the cell frequencies into individual variables -- one  
observation per study:

     statsby p=r(p_exact) r1c1=mymat[1,1] r1c2=mymat[1,2] ///
                          r2c1=mymat[2,1] r2c2=mymat[2,2],  
by(study): ///
                          tab var1 var2, exact matcell(mymat)
