Abstract: metareg performs random-effects meta-regression on study-level summary data. This is a revised version of the program originally written by Stephen Sharp (STB-42, sbe23). The major revisions involve improvements to the estimation methods and the addition of an option to use a permutation test to estimate p-values, including an adjustment for multiple testing. We have also made additions to the output, added an option to produce a graph, and included support for the predict command.
