Dear all,

 

these days I was reading an article in which the authors, first name Marcel A.L.M. van Assen, create with the R software a very interesting graph, meta-plot, to be used when doing meta-analysis.
Could this graph be made with SAS?
I write here the link https://osf.io/eayfr/ where to find the R code and all the material used by the authors.
The title of the paper is: The Meta-Plot A graphical tool for interpreting the results of a meta-analysis.

 

Thank you very much

 

Giuseppe

So which parts do need help in SAS? Summarizing the data? Making the Plots?

What have you tried so far?

Where is your data?
