Hello, I notice that -metan- requires the following for continuous data: sample size, mean difference, and standard deviation (SD)of the experimental group followed by those of the control group. This could be used, for example, to pool data such as mean difference in blood pressure before and after an intervention.
However, if instead of the sample size, mean difference and standard deviation, I had for both groups:
sample size, mean blood pressure before intervention standard deviation (SD) sample size, mean blood pressure after intervention standard deviation (SD) would it be possible to convert into the format required by -metan-?
