Hello,
I am hoping to find out if anyone knows why the total participant counts might be incorrect when my meta-analysis is re-done excluding a study? My code was:
Everything looks right with the first plot, but the second plot has the same total n in the counts collumn for the intervention and control groups as the first plot, whilst there should be fewer participants by the number who were in the excluded study.
I have asked my institutional IT to allow Stata to update with the hope it is an old bug which is now fixed, but I thought I should also check if there is anything wrong with my commands?
Many Thanks,
Sophie
