[R-meta] Funnel plot with Egger regression test, using R

[Gerta Ruecker]

Dear Ms Sanders,

you could use R package meta. Given your mean differences (say, x) and your standard errors (say, se.x), you obtain a meta-analysis m1 by

m1 <- metagen(s, se.x)

The funnel plot is obtained by

funnel(m1)

The Egger regression test is done using

metabias(m1)

Further option see the help functions:
help(package = "meta")
help(metagen)
help(funnel.meta)
help(metabias)

Best,
Gerta Rücker
