Dear all,

I have conducted a subgroup analysis using meta in R.
I used the following command but can't seem to find the z score in the
output.

> post_cb2_es.subgroup<-update.meta(post_cb2_es,
+                              byvar=category,
+                              comb.random = TRUE,
+                              comb.fixed = FALSE,
+                              print.zval = TRUE)

Could anyone please kindly advise? Thanks a lot!!!

Regards,
Joanne

Prediction interval         [-0.5915; 1.0797]

Quantifying heterogeneity:
tau^2 = 0.1441; H = 1.67 [1.30; 2.15]; I^2 = 64.1% [40.6%; 78.3%]

Quantifying residual heterogeneity:
