Stata implementation of contour enhanced funnel plots
confunnel is a Stata command implementing contour enhanced funnel plots for meta-analysis (Peters et al., 2008). It was distributed in the Stata Journal (Palmer et al., 2008).
Installation
To install, issue in Stata (in versions 13 and above):
stata
net install confunnel, from("https://raw.github.com/remlapmot/confunnel-stata/master/")
Implementation in official Stata
An official Stata contour enhanced funnel plot command, based on confunnel is available, since I think Stata version 16, through the meta funnelplot command as follows
stata
meta funnelplot [if] [in], contours(contourspec) [options]
Here is a comparison of the plots that they produce (plots generated under StataNow 18.5)
stata
webuse nsaidsset, clear
ssc install mylabels
mylabels 0.02 0.2 1 5 50, myscale(log(@)) local(mylab)
confunnel _meta_es _meta_se, twowayopts(xtitle("Odds ratios (log scale)") `"xlabel(`mylab')"' title("Contour-enhanced funnel plot"))

stata
meta funnelplot, contours(1 5 10) xtitle("Odds ratios (log scale)") xlabel(`mylab') legend(pos(2) ring(0))
