or this:


clear
input id a b c d

gen p=.


forvalues i = 1/`=_N'  {
	tabi `=a[`i']' `=b[`i']' \ `=c[`i']' `=d[`i']' , exact
	replace p = `r(p_exact)' in `i'
}

Dear Mike

   I wonder if this example below will help. It has four columns named a

b c and d, corresponding to the four frequencies you describe. I rename 
them to v1 v2 v3 v4, and reshape them to a long format. I then create 
the variable -event- and -trt- to correspond to event and treatment, and

then use -tab- to create the fishers exact tests, and add -bysort id- to

do this separately for each study.

   I hope this helps.

clear
input id a b c d
1 5 9 3 5
2 1 5 3 7
3 2 9 4 3
end

rename a v1
rename b v2
rename c v3
rename d v4

reshape long v, i(id) j(condition)
generate event = 1 if inlist(condition,1,2)
replace  event = 0 if inlist(condition,3,4)
generate trt   = 1 if inlist(condition,1,3)
replace  trt   = 0 if inlist(condition,2,4)

bysort id: tab event trt [fw=v], exact
