meta Stata 16 options

[Madu Abuchi]

Hi

Can someone assist? I am graphing a forestplot for some estimates by subgroup (in Stata 16) but do not want any of the subgroup overall to appear in the graph. I have tried all options without success. Who knows how to deal with this? Please see example code below

webuse pupiliqset
meta query
meta forestplot, subgroup(week1) noohetstats noohomtest  noosigtest nogbhomtests nogwhomtests  noghetstats noomarker  nullrefline

If you want to suppress sub-group specific analyses, you are best off to not specify the -subgroup()- option, since they are not of interest.

I'm going to guess that you would rather have text headings for subgroups, rather than conduct an analysis based on subgroups. If that's the case, then I'm not sure the -meta forestplot- will allow you to do this. The closest I could get was with this example.
