[R-meta] double arcsine transformation

[Michael Dewey]

Dear James

I know this is not what you asked but are you sure you want to do 
univariate analyses here? Although sensitivity and specificity are 
independent within study in general they are not independent between 
study. It may be that you have too few studies to do the bivariate 
analysis of course.
