Re: st: meta-analysis with correlation coefficients

[Jonathan Sterne <Jonathan.Sterne@bristol.ac.uk>]

You would simply need to use the usual formula for the standard error of 
Fisher's transformation for the correlation coefficient (1/sqrt(n-3)), then 
use metan on the transformed correlations and their standard errors, then 
transform the summary estimate and 95% CI back to the original scale.
Best wishes
