DATA Subcommand (META BINARY command)
The META BINARY command calls the meta-analysis procedure for binary outcomes when the raw data are provided in the active dataset for the estimation of the effect size. The required DATA subcommand specifies the meta-analysis data.
- TREATMENT
- The required keyword specifies the data for the treatment group.
- SUCCESS
- The required keyword specifies the “success” counts for the treatment group followed by a required variable name specified in parentheses. The value must be a single numeric variable.
- FAILURE
- The required keyword specifies the “failure” counts for the treatment group followed by a required variable name specified in parentheses. The value must be a single numeric variable.
- CONTROL
- The required keyword specifies the data for the control group.
- SUCCESS
- The required keyword specifies the “success” counts for the control group followed by a required variable name specified in parentheses. The value must be a single numeric variable.
- FAILURE
- The required keyword specifies the “failure” counts for the control group followed by a required variable name specified in parentheses. The value must be a single numeric variable.
- ESTYPE
- The optional keyword specifies the effect size type.
- LOGOR
- The default type that estimates the log odds ratio.
- LOGPETO
- Estimates the Peto’s log odds ratio.
- LOGRR
- Estimates the log risk ratio.
- RD
- Estimates the risk difference.
- ID
- The optional keyword specifies the study ID (usually a numeric variable). The variable that is specified for this parameter cannot be the same as the variable that is specified for STUDY.
- STUDY
- The optional keyword specifies the study name (usually a string variable). Either STUDY, or ID, or both must be specified to identify each primary study. The variable that is specified for this parameter cannot be the same as the variable that is specified for ID.
