Meta-Epidemiological Analysis & RORs

[Was Ud]

Hello,
I am working on a meta-epidemiological analysis and wanted to make sure that the commands are correct.

I came across an old post from a few years ago with the same question but it seems like there was no response: https://www.stata.com/statalist/arch.../msg00199.html
Basically, some meta-analyses gave a 2x2 raw data and some gave calculated ORs.

For raw data for each meta analysis, these codes were used:

metan exn exsample ctn ctsample, or log random by(design) nograph
metareg _ES design, wsse(_seES)

exn exsample ctn ctsample = experimental and control arms
design = study design

then the result from metareg is recorded (RORs)

for calculated ORs:

metareg logor design, wsse(selogor)

logor = log odds ratio
selogor = standard error of the log odds ratio

and then, to pool all the results from metareg commands:

metan logror selogror,random eform rfdist

Are these commands proper? Do I have to use the log odds ratio or can I use the ORs that are given (and not use eform) when pooling?

Thanks!
