Study Name not showing on the Forest Plot using MIDAS command

[Abdullah Akram]

Hello guys,

I am doing a meta-analysis of diagnosis. While running the MIDAS command, the study names are not showing up in forest plots in STATA 17 (In STAT 13, the same commands work fine).


Command used: midas tp fp fn tn, id(studyname) bforest(dss) fordata forstats

Test dataset used:

studyname	tp	fp	fn	tn
abc 2023	71	8	4	27
xyz 2016	67	4	6	1
lmn 2024	49	26	2	17
uio 2008	170	4	5	1
asd 2016	29	2	3	1
qwe 2017	29	7	7	5
fgh 2000	29	3	4	5

I would be grateful for any help.
Thanks!

Hello Abdullah Akram, the study names are not showing up when I run midas too, and I've tried single vs multi-column study names, and short names, and they still didn't show up. My student showed me that there's an option to right click and edit the figure, then you can add Text onto the figure. Or copy the figure out and add text in by hand using another software.
