OVERVIEW
XMETA is an R package that offers several functions for performing meta-analysis and visualizing outcomes. Through video tutorials, sample codes, and more, this website provides a comprehensive exploration of the features found in XMETA and how they may apply to your work.
X-META
There are existing R and STATA packages that perform several methods of meta-analysis, which may be supplemented by additional functions available in the XMETA R package.

What's new in XMETA?
​
The XMETA package is a comprehensive toolbox for meta-analysis that includes functions for:
• making inference for univariate and multivariate meta-analysis
• detecting and quantifying the evidence of small study effects (publication bias, heterogeneity)
• visualizing univariate and multivariate outcomes in meta-analysis
​
​
​
Existing R package 'meta':
​
• fixed effect and random effect meta- analysis (functions include metabin, metacont, metacor, and others)
• plots (forest, funnel, radial, etc.)
• statistical tests to evaluate bias (metabias, trimfill)
• meta-regression (metareg)
Existing STATA collection of commands:
​
• meta-analysis (metan, metaan, metacum)
• plots (metafunnel, confunnel)
• statistical tests to evaluate bias (metabias, metatrim)
• meta-regression (metareg)
