Abstract.   A new command, metamiss, performs meta-analysis with binary outcomes when some or all studies have missing data. Missing values can be imputed as successes, as failures, according to observed event rates, or by a combination of these according to reported reasons for the data being missing. Alternatively, the user can specify the value of, or a prior distribution for, the informative missingness odds ratio.
