Thank's Lukasz !!!
I am using the metaprop command from the meta package, with all its parameters by default

Asunto: Re: I have any problems with meta-analysis of proportions
Dear Martin,
if tau-squared equals .06 then tau equals sqrt(.06) = .24. It would be
huge in the context of proportions. To illustrate, if the mean
proportion is .34 then it would mean that proportions varying between
.10 and .58 could be considered normal (tau can be regarded as the true
standard deviation of effect sizes).
I wonder, whether the reported tau-squared value is really on the
proportion scale. You are probably using some kind of transformation in
your meta-analysis rather than using raw proportions. In many
statistical packages the estimates are not automatically
back-transformed in the output. In this case one would need to
back-transform the tau-squared estimate manually. Only then we can
interpret the tau value on the proportion scale.
The reported range of proportions (.28 to .59) seems to indicate that
there is some heterogeneity but it could be a premature conclusion.
Consider a scenario where one proportion equals .28 and all other
proportions are close to .59. The heterogeneity could be attributed to
one outlier (.28). In order to rule out such scenarios you could plot
the distribution of the observed proportions (e.g., histogram, boxplot
or violin plot).
Best wishes,
Lukasz
