Hi to every body,
I'm trying to use the Galbraith meta command to detect potential outliers.
Below the dataset:
I use the code below (my effect size is the variable prev):
meta set prev se_prev
meta galbraithplot, random
The potential outliers are the 2 study that lie farther away from the shaded regions.
I use the code below:
Anyway, when I ran the command it pointed me to different studios. Where is the mistake? Many thanks in advance

meta set prev se_prev
meta galbraithplot, random
The potential outliers are the 2 study that lie farther away from the shaded regions.
I use the code below:
Code:
quietly generate lbl = string(trial) if _meta_es/_meta_se > 2 & 1/_meta_se > 4 meta galbraithplot, mlabel(lbl) mlabpos(12)
Anyway, when I ran the command it pointed me to different studios. Where is the mistake? Many thanks in advance
