A Stata-based tutorial survey of the transformation referred to here was
given in
SJ-8-3 pr0041 . Speaking Stata: Corr. with confidence, Fisher's z
revisited
(help corrci, corrcii if installed) . . . . . . . . . . . . N.
J. Cox
Q3/08 SJ 8(3):413--439
reviews Fisher's z transformation and its inverse, the
hyperbolic tangent, and reviews their use in inference
with correlations

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.
