st: meta command and _result( )

[Joanna Carrington <jcarring@sgul.ac.uk>]

Dear Stata users,

I'm using the meta command and would like to obtain some of the numbers 
given in the output.  A colleague has discovered that some numbers can 
be displayed using

di _result( )

I have managed to get an output for numbers (in the brackets) from 1-6.  
Could anyone explain what these are, how this numbering system works and 
if there are any other possible numbers I can obtain please?  
Essentially I would like the random effects estimate and it's standard 
error but am curious about any other numbers I can obtain.

Thank you for your help,

Joanna Carrington
