[R-meta] Using meta package when SMDs and SEs/95% CIs are already known

[Dr. Guido Schwarzer]

I should have read this reply first before posting my answer. ;-)

It is also possible to provide study data with information on SEs or confidence limits, i.e.,

metagen(mySMD, myseSMD, lower = lowerSMD, upper = upperSMD, sm = "SMD")

The standard error is only calculated from the lower and upper limits if the standard error of a study is missing.

Best,
Guido
