Dear Angeline,

The easiest way is to (1) copy the meta-analysis object and (2) jitter 
the points in the new meta-analysis object.

Please find attached examples for R packages meta and metafor. Note, as 
metafor saves the variances (list element vi) and the funnel plot shows 
standard errors, you have to jitter the standard errors not variances. 
In meta, standard errors (list element seTE) are directly available.

Best wishes,
Guido
