Abstract: In this article, we describe a new individual patient data meta-analysis postestimation command, ipdforest. The command produces a forest plot following a one-stage meta-analysis with xtmixed or xtmelogit. (These commands have been renamed in Stata 13 to mixed and meqrlogit, respectively; ipdforest is currently not compatible with the new names.) The overall effect is obtained from the preceding mixed-effects regression and the study effects from linear or logistic regressions on each study, which are executed within ipdforest. Individual patient data meta-analysis models with Stata are discussed. Copyright 2013 by StataCorp LP.
