Hi all,
I am using Stata's official new command suit 'meta' for a meta-analsyis. The dataset, I have, came with pre-computed effect size in log odds ratios and their standard errors. All went well using 'meta set' command. However, when I want to carryout Harbord's test for small publication bias, Stata replies that the test can only be specified with binary data. In the scenario when I cannot access the event-cell information, how can I override this warning and let Stata understand that my effect sizes are sourced from binary data? Any suggestion is appreciated.

Code:
meta bias, harbord
options peters and harbord may be specified only with binary data
