You will need to log-transform the RR and the corresponding confidence interval (e.g. gen newvar = ln(RR)). Then metan from ssc (ssc install metan) should do the job.
If not, you will need to approximate the standard error from the log transformed confidence interval:
se=(uci-lci)/3.92 (should be reasonable in most situations but you have to judge this by yourself)
se = standard error of logRR
uci = upper confidence interval (log transformed)
lci = lower ...
Do not forget to use the eform option.
