Effect column in output #18

Closed LindsayMMB closed 2 years ago

Hi,

I just wanted to clarify that the effect column in the meta-analysis output corresponds to "Beta" if the effect column in the input files was beta and one ran a meta-analysis using standard errors as the scheme. I can't find it written anywhere on METAL's wiki page.

Thank you in advance.

That should be the case as long as you used EFFECTLABEL Beta or EFFECT Beta in your METAL script for each input study.
