Claudia Denking has had problems with the
user-written command -midas-.  

-findit midas- brings up one written by 
Ben Dwamena ([email protected]), Division of Nuclear Medicine, 
Department  of Radiology, University of Michigan Health System, 
Ann Arbor; designed for meta-analysis of diagnostic tests; 
integrating results for both sensitivity and specificity, 
without reducing them to a single measure, such as an odds ratio.

. which midas
c:\ado\stbplus\m\midas.ado
*! version 2.00 December 21, 2008
*! version 1.00 August 15, 2007
*! Ben A. Dwamena: [email protected] 

When I updated my copy from version 1 to 2, it initially 
failed to run properly, but had no problems after I closed 
and re-opened Stata.

However, Setor Kunutsor <[email protected]>
seems to locate a quite different one , via 
http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/statistics/meta-analysis/ 

*! Version 3.03 19May2009 (author: Michael J Bradburn, 
Jonathan J Deeks, Douglas G Altman.  Centre for Statistics in Medicine, 
University of Oxford, Wolfson College Annexe, Linton Road, Oxford, OX2 6UD, UK)

I think this is really -metan-, another meta-analysis command; 
which is not designed for diagnostic tests, but for 
treatment effects, measured as odds ratios, differences in the mean etc.

If so, there is a newer version : 

. which metan
c:\ado\stbplus\m\metan.ado
*! 3.04 21Sep2010

Hello,

I am trying to use MIDAS for a systematic review.

The command: 
midas tp fp fn tn, bfor ford 
midas tp fp fn tn, bfor 
midas tp fp fn tn, ford

does not seem to be working. I am trying to get a similar output to Revman with the description of the studies on the left and then the forest plot for sensitivity and specificity on the right.

I am using STATA 12. 

Does anyone have experience with this and can help?

Thank you,
Claudia
