| Creating a dataset, I would like to input the adjusted estimates and the corresponding CIs, instead of number of cases and controls. Is it possible? Thank you. | |

| Many (most?) analyses are done adjusting for known confounders which are commonly known within a particular field. Meta-analysis in these cases requires analysis of the OR and CI/p-values for the variable of interest as opposed to raw counts of events which depend upon both the variable of interest as well as the confounder. | |

| Ok, but my problem is that I tried to input the ORs and CIs in Meta-Analyst but the program doesn't allow me to do this. Can I solve this problem? Thank you. | |

I know, I wasn't suggesting a solution, only saying I have the same exact problem | |
